Holy crap dude. I just peeped your Instagram photos (as many as I could before the login requirement came up) and your knives are unbelievably cool 🤤
I have so many questions.
Do you follow any sort of traditional technique or style, or like how would you describe your craft?
What is the difference between a stickler and a streaker, for example?
Is your clientele mostly collectors? Chefs? Hunters? Cosplayers? (Kidding about the last one).
Have you ever made a larger blade? At first the sticklers looked like short swords but now I’m seeing they’re definitely knives.
Maybe another twelve months into this cycle, I’ll be able to afford one of these beauties 😍
Thanks man, appreciate the feedback.
I taught myself knife making off YouTube and various forums. I have a design background and eclectic tastes. I consider my work to be functional art.
The main difference between models is the profile: the outline of the knife.
I would assume my customers are collectors mainly, followed by some who use them for hunting or camping. I don't really ask.
I've made other pieces up to 450mm OAL.
I'll be around when you're ready. 😉
Truly, so cool. I’ve never really seen work like this. But I’ve always wanted a katana/daisho… 🥷🤙
