I have been designing and making knives on and off since 2018. For some time, I crafted knives by hand, but in recent years, I have focused on small-batch production using CNC machines. At times, I considered turning this hobby into a serious business, but I ultimately decided against it. Instead, I chose to keep this activity as a source of joy and occasional extra income. That’s why I started the KNIVU project, where I pursue my passion for knife-making.

Nowadays, I first design knives on a computer, paying close attention to every detail until I am completely satisfied. I then prototype the knife using 3D printing to test its shape and ergonomics. After that, I oversee its production on CNC machines, and each piece is finished by hand.

On this website, you will find photos of knives that I have either handmade or designed and produced.

I usually sell through Facebook groups or specialized forums. If you would like to be notified when a knife becomes available, you can join the waitlist.
