Begin

We makeone bladeat a time.

A commission begins with a conversation — your grip, your use, your preference in steel. We do not work from a catalogue. We work from a person.

The process takes between four and eight months. When the blade is finished, it is finished. There are no revisions, no returns, no duplicates.

If you are ready to begin, send us your email address. We will respond within seven days.
