Steve has been making knives full time for 15 years and sculpture since 1987 and uses only the very best steel and local and international materials to create his knives - be they for the home, field, river or sea.  His knives are attractive and purposeful, when you buy one of these, you will not need to buy another knife.  Find out more here.  As a knifesmith, Steve can also assist with repairs.  Enquire here.

The Japanese philosophy of Shibumi is paramount to Steve.  That which is so elegant does not require explanation.
