Welcome to my personal page handmade knives and sheaths.
I live in Athens, although I come from the province.
I started working on the construction of knives in 2008 and since then every day I search for knowledge about the metallurgy and processing of steel.
I build handmade knives because I really enjoy it. I enjoy the challenge of shaping a steel piece of cold metal into a useful object.
the knives construct whose main purpose of use is why the steel we use is top in its class cutlery as carbon steels (non-stainless) as well as high quality stainless steels. This gives the knives status of perfect edge without 'blunting' 'blade and easy sharpening when needed.
I give great importance to the blade because this is the heart of the knife intended for hard use as scratch game, cutting wood, survival in nature etc.
the blades of my knives are manufactured either by forging or by cutting from steel bars and heat treated in accordance with the standards of steels manufacturing companies.
for the handles using wood stabilized and treated exclusively knives. I also use natural and synthetic materials from international trade cutlery materials.
Each knife is accompanied by vegetable tanning leather case made and sewn by hand on the knife action.
Thank you for your visit.

Thank you all friends of the page you visited the booth at Outdoor expo exhibition, viewed from near my knives and discussed machairognosias issues.
The praise for my creations is the reward for the hitherto laborious, creative effort. Below we see some photos from the booth in the exhibition. |
New series of small game.
A new series of small knife opened by our lab in a hunting style.The illustrated knife blade which is the first in the series, are made of forged steel 5160, which after forging was cut to the contour of the knife, purified in the belt sander and the side edges created. Then '' painted '' (hardened) in olive oil and restored at 200oC to obtain elasticity. The handle came a piece of African blackwood, and mainly tiles handle of deer horn. The case that comes with the knife is sewn by hand 4mm thick leather and fitted with waterproofing cream with safety closure.The size of the blade is 70mm and the overall length of the knife is 160mm. The size and shape of the knife is ideal for daily use and for cleaning small game such as hare. Next will be presented and some more knife designs in this size. 31/07/2015 |
Electric kiln for heat tratmaent
A new tool was added to the collection in our laboratory. Perhaps most important of all the tools because with the help of can achieve the maximum quality of the blade. The electric oven is built entirely by us with leading Greek market materials. It gives us the ability to 'paint' '(hardens) High quality stainless steels requiring high curing temperatures of 1100 degrees Celsius and demanding carbon steels. Below you can watch the first Test in blades D2 and Elmax steel.
