CUSTOM FOLDING KNIFE
My pursuit of bespoke craftmanship carries on across form factors. Take with you everyday the compelling story of an heirloom blade in a size and form that fits right into your pocket.

Let’s create a work of art together.


I invite you to collaborate with me to craft a folding knife that’s custom-made just for you or for someone special. Together, we'll select the materials, use the appropriate techniques, and apply unique finishes to create a chef knife that is both a functional tool and a work of art, tailored to your preferences.

Our collaborative process will take at least four months, resulting in a bespoke knife that excels in both aesthetics and functionality.
