HOW DID IT HAPPEN...

  Manufacturing of knives and utility tools has been an interest of mine for more than 13 years.

 My work is a blend of many professions at once; gunsmith, artistic knives engraving, and restoration. I especially emphasize on quality, design, simplicity and functionality.

 I like to use natural materials, from which I try to extract as much potential as I can. That is why you can see its untraditional utilization in my final work.

 I often use the tools, which I make, myself, which is why I spend hours on improving and perfecting these tools, so their final form can be fully functional and simply perfect.

 

 

 

 

STORY

  I stand by the idea that to make things of high quality, you should firstly use the things at least for some time yourself, so you could understand the maximum of its potentiality.

 Nowadays I dedicate most of my time to knives manufacturing, I also make atypical tools used for wood machining, and I restore historical cold weapons and firing guns.

 I also work with other craftsmen and other firms, for who I create original accessories of any kind.
