Knife makers I follow

These are a few knife makers I follow and have taken inspiration from last year when my research title was more focused on knives. I learned that everybody has to pay "their dues" and these guys all show how they started off with the are minimum like I am.

This is Matti Kunelius, he is a silversmith. He specialises in damascus puuko making and he is self taught, this immediately caught my fancy because I tool am a smith/jewellery and in the process of teaching myself the art of knife making.

Jason Fry is another knife maker I follow, I have seen how he makes his knives. He also started with a small belt grinder and a coal forge he built in his backyard. He has shown improvement from the time I started following him until now, a real inspiration.

This is Wayne Morgan a South African knife maker, I thoroughly enjoy the rustic finishes and indigenous handle materials. A great example of how "rustic" doesn't mean half finished, all the knives I've sen from Mr.Morgan are well finished straight and he has paid attention to the small details such as filework on the spines on his knives and on other parts of the knives.
