MY KNIVES
I have been making knives for almost 20 years. However, with more than 55 years working in the metal industry, my approach to knife making is grounded in metallurgy, materials selection and precision engineering as well as craftsmanship.
Visit pages for culinary knives for home and professionals as well as knives for bushcraft, hunting and Folding knives for further detail on the geometry and styles on offer.
Below are descriptions of my various knives. Hopefully this will help you to know all about knives. You might like to visit my Gallery Page to see some of the knives I have made in the past. If you have any questions about knife making, hopefully you will find the answers here

THE GYUTO or CHEF KNIFE
The Gyuto/Chef’s knife is the all-purpose general workhorse,

Generally, an 8″ to 10″ (200 – 250mm) blade.
This knife is excellent for slicing & chopping, especially with a rocking action
THE BUNKA
The Bunka is a brilliant, multi-purpose, everyday knife for meat, fish and vegetables. The gentle curvature of the cutting edge and pointed “K-tip” make it suitable for long, short and precise cuts. The Bunka normally has a 6.5″ – 8″ (160mm – 200mm) blade
NAKIRI
The Nakiri is one of the oldest Japanese kitchen knife designs, whose name translates to “Leaf Cutter”. Whilst it is most commonly associated with vegetable preparation, it is equally comfortable preparing small pieces of boneless meat or fish.
THE SANTOKU
The Santoku is said to be the most common knife in use in Japanese domestic kitchens, as it is easier to control for non-professional chefs. Similar to the Bunka, it has a rounded, less precise tip that’s easy to control.
THE PETTY or PARING KNIFE
A Petty (Japanese style) or Paring (Western style) knife is a small-bladed knife typically with a 3″ – 5″ (75 – 125mm) blade. They are generally used “in hand” for more delicate tasks such as coring or peeling

BUSHCRAFT/HUNTING KNIVES
My Bushcraft knives are designed not only to cut well, but to be trusted in the field and built to withstand real bushcraft use. Resilience is key because they need to cope with a wide range of demanding tasks in the outdoors.
Visit pageHunting knives are optimized for edge retention and different tasks. They need different profiles for skinning, gralloching and butchering. The handles are optimized for improved grip in wet conditions
FOLDING KNIVES
I am currently developing a new range of street legal slip back folding knives.
