I make hand made kitchen knives with a hammer and anvil, with lots of fire, built for the home kitchen to Michelin restaurants and everything in-between, my knives are built for everyone.

Hello there, My name is Shaun.

During Covid 19, I started to binge watch the show ‘Forged In Fire’, in which gave me the inspiration I needed to have a go at the craft that is blade smithing. It then became my goal to craft chefs knives that were better than and more personal than the standard ones that you could buy from the shop.

From my time spent in kitchens over the course of the last 10 years, I’ve come to understand that a good sturdy knife is a must as well as being able to stay sharp and stay usable for those long shifts. This is something I take great pride in and strive to achieve with every knife that comes out of my workshop.

All in all, my goal is to get people enjoying cooking again and that making food at home or prepping dinner for 100’s in a restaurant doesn’t have to be a chore and can be enjoyed. A good knife makes us want to use it more and makes us want to cook more, speaking from my experience of using a custom-made knife for myself.

Going down this rabbit hole of this new hobby, I found myself obsessing over it, dreaming about it and talking non stop about it. I thought it was driving my wife and family mad. But it was in fact the exact opposite of what I thought, they all supported me in my new craft and were excited from the 1st (please see top left) to some of my best knives I’ve made. (see below)
