Welcome to my online portfolio. I have dedicated almost a decade to the never-ending pursuit of perfection through sharpened steel. Heavily influenced by the work of Japanese smiths, both aesthetically and philosophically, I have developed a distinct contemporary style that stands as unique in the world of modern knifemaking. 

You join me now on the cusp of a new journey as I begin venturing into the deep waters of the traditional Japanese Sword. Exploring new techniques, new themes and elevating my skills to create beautiful, heirloom quality, bespoke works of art.

Please, enjoy what you see here, and if you have any questions please don’t hesitate to contact me.
