Hello, my name is Rob, and I have obsessions ...

 

Making knives is addictive. Once you've made and used the first one, you think about what you would do differently next time, so you have another go. And another. After a while you start making them for friends, and then you run out of friends who need them. What else can you do but start to sell them so you can make more with a slightly different shape, or different handle, or different steel or different woods?

​

I've been making knives for fun and sale for over 20 years. What started out as playing with spring steel, a hairdryer forge and quick light charcoal from B&Q has morphed into a 2hp electric belt grinder, a professional propane gas forge and a workshop full of steel, wood, patterns and ideas. Many of these patterns have been used to create knives for the kitchen, re-enactment and living history, outdoor sports and bushcraft.

​

I'm always happy to talk about how I got started as well as what I do now, so if you are interested in starting out and trying to make some for yourself, feel free to get in touch via the Contact page. Although I would also be keen to see you buy one of mine as well - for each one I sell, I can make another ...

Please ask for high resolution copies of pictures rather than taking off the website if you wish to save or use them - free for non commercial use ...

All the best
