Knives — Hammerin´ Hearts

When designing a knife, you have to consider a lot of different things.

What is it mean´t to do, what is the knife gonna have to endure during it´s life?

How thin does the edge need to be? What kind of conditions will it meet, the proper materials to use in it´s construction? Surface finish?

These are all questions that I ask myself when designing a knife.

When you have all that figured out, that’s when you can create something that will stay with both you, and those who come after you.
