Featured Knifemakers
John Bertrand
Like many knifemakers, John is mostly self-taught. He takes an Engineer’s approach to learning. He first identifies one aspect of knifemaking like choosing a steel or making a type of knife. He then researches everything he can and identifies good resources such as Larrin Thomas’ (The Knife Steel Nerd) metallurgy books and videos and Murray Carter’s books on making Japanese Knives.
Rich Boughen
Rich's knifemaking skills are largely self-taught, improved through a mix of trial and error and many hours spent watching YouTube knifemaking videos. He finds bladesmiths like Kyle Royer, Walter Sorrels, and Jeremy from "Simple Little Life" to be great virtual teachers and draws inspiration and technical tips from their videos.
Mick Langley
Mick has been a knifemaker for over 40 years and is Canada’s first Master Bladesmith of the American Bladesmith Society. He has sold knives to collectors in New York, New Jersey, Knoxville, California, Oregon, and as far away as Japan, Paris, and Brazil.
