It all begins at the Forge

Most of my work is in constant inspiration of the many craftsmen of Japan. From the Iron Smelters, to the Swordsmith, Blacksmith and of course the Kitchen Knifesmiths. Most blades are of the sanmai construction, multi-layer pattern weld, or of other exotic high carbon or Ultra high carbon steels. At times even of my own high carbon steel I create in a smelter or as orishigane.

This reverence to their methods began over 5 years ago and has been in steady evolution. Please be a part of my journey and seek out my work.
