Welcome to Balete Blades, my workshop
I'm Sean Alonzo, dedicated to the craft of creating heirloom chef knives and folding knives from the heart of my workshop. Each knife I craft is bespoke, tailored from scratch to marry form and function into a singular piece of art.
My designs are thoughtfully created, selecting materials that not only meet the functional needs of the user but also elevate each knife to a work of art. While I primarily focus on custom orders, I also periodically offer knife drops. I warmly invite you to join my newsletter for immediate updates on upcoming releases and to become a part of the journey behind each blade.

Crafted with the Utmost Precision and Care
Each piece whether it be plain stainless steel or Damascus, can be your very own personalized blade — a gift for yourself or for someone special in your life.
For a Guy Who
Likes to Make Pizza
I make pizza cutters sparingly - once a month or every quarter - so this is a newer craft I've had the privilege of exploring and honing. These knives are more detailed towards detail and pattern - a little break away from the usual grind.
