Custom Shop

A commissioned blade is made entirely to your specifications. Steel, profile, geometry, handle — every variable is yours to define. The result is an object that exists nowhere else.

We work through blade profile, steel selection, grind geometry, handle material, and finish. You'll receive a detailed spec sheet before any steel is touched.
