I am a full-time maker of hand made high carbon steel Western and Asian inspired kitchen knives. Most of my time is spent on commission work, but when I have time, I make kitchen knives to my own designs and techniques, and ⇒list them on my kitchen knives in stock page⇐.
Using my masters degree in individualized education in combination with my skills as a blade smith, I can create unique collaborative one of a kind pieces for clients from all around the world.
I have collaborated on design concepts and then created work for and with chefs and corporations such as Gant Rugger, fine Michelin starred restaurants in San Francisco such as Birdsong & Atelier Crenn, Chef Pynt at Burnt Ends in Singapore and many others. You can see the results on my steak knife page slide shows by ⇒ CLICKING HERE. ⇐
For Gant, I collaborated with Chris Bast { their in house genius design guru }, to design and make 150 – 2″ x 8″ kitchen knives for distributing free to the press and others during their fashion shows in New York and Paris. They were shipped to Stockholm where they were laser etched w/ Gant’s name and logo, and then each was matched with a custom box. For media articles about this collaboration, see this PAGE, at the bottom. See photo just below of final results. Click photo to enlarge.
I really enjoy the process of collaboration and offer this design process free to any and all interested clients, for one piece or a larger commission.
You can read and absorb this whole site or just ⇒ contact me ⇐with your ideas and we can easily hash out a design plan and cost for your custom kitchen knife (knives).
