Knifemaking is a skill
Creating knives is an art that involves precision and skill. I start with high-quality steel, carefully selecting the type that suits the intended purpose of the knife. After sketching out the design, I cut the steel into the desired shape using a grinder or other cutting tools.
And I love it
Next comes the crucial step of heat treating the blade to ensure it reaches the right level of hardness. This involves heating the blade to a specific temperature and then rapidly cooling it. This process enhances the blade’s durability and sharpness. Once the blade is heat-treated, I focus on the handle. I choose materials that not only provide a comfortable grip but also complement the overall aesthetic. Whether it’s wood, synthetic materials, or a combination, the handle is crafted with attention to detail.
