I’m based in the costal area of Israel where i make stock removal folding knives using manual machining, grinding and hand finishing.

I have been a full time knife maker for 5 years but started making knives at the age of 15 and at the age of 16 i allready knew that this is what i want to do for the rest of my life.

I make folding tactical/art knives with a great emphasis on fit, finish and quality materials.

I was initially drawn to the look of Damasteel, compared to other stainless damascus steels on the market Damasteel has a much cleaner, sharper contrast and brighter look which i really liked, after using it i discovered that there are many more reasons to like it, the ease in which it takes a great finish, the consistency in heat treatment and the amazing edge it takes.

Favorite pattern:

Vinland.
