Welcome to the my corner of the internet as a hobbyist turned part-time blacksmith.

About a decade ago, I discovered a love of cooking but couldn’t find quality kitchen knives that suited the tiny apartment I was living in at the time. The combination of a childhood spent woodworking with my dad and my interest in becoming an engineer at the time meant it was only natural for me to decide to make my own kitchen tools. How hard could it be to teach myself blacksmithing? (The answer is, harder than I thought.)

Most of the kitchen knives I make are hand-forged in my studio, located in a barn at the Edge of Town in Louisville, KY. I also design and craft all the handles from a variety of materials, but enjoy using locally sourced hardwoods the most. In more recent years, in addition to kitchen knives I have made bottle openers, spatulas, barbecue skewers, and have most recently been working to forge candelabras.

My work is meant to be enjoyed by both professional chefs and culinary enthusiasts such as myself. I do my best to focus on creating heirloom quality tools, and with proper care, each piece should last for generations to come.

Feel free to contact me with any questions or requests for custom work.
