Man has made knives for thousands of years. It's one of the first tools ever made and also one of the first weapons. Knives have greatly improved with the use of new and improved steels, but the basic knife has not changed : a blade and a handle ! On the other hand, the shape of the knife and handle can be changed by using different steels and materials. Some details such as handle shape, blade shape and cutting edge can make a knife to suit different needs and uses. To make a special knife, technical knowledge and training is needed. A handmade knife demands a lot of patience, manual skills and a certain artistic ability. Fortunately with modern tools, it's now a lot easier to make a knife. Despite that I have decided to make my custom knives by using simple hand operated tools (no automatic or computerised machines).
