I’ve spent years working with metal, and fabrication taught me how steel behaves: how it cuts, how it holds an edge, and how it wears. Somewhere along the way, sharpening my own blades became a hobby, and then it was something I always did for myself

The other piece of the story is my younger brother, who has a real passion for cooking. We love to be in the kitchen together, and I’m usually the one on knife work, chopping, slicing, and prepping. I’m no culinary chef, but I know firsthand how much a sharp knife can change the experience.

I’ve always gravitated towards the support role. I’m the one who makes sure the team can do their best work. That mindset carries into this business. When you hand me your knives, I’m supporting your work, whether you’re running a kitchen, a food business, or just feeding your family.
