Forging Knives out of Local Wood, Horns, and Car Bearings in Bhutan
In this video, I talk about my recent two-month long stay in Bhutan where I held another knife-making workshop for local knife-makers. In the process of demonstrating some techniques, I created a collection of knives using local steel and materials: a san-mai laminate Gyuto and two san-mai laminate cleavers.

I make pizza cutters sparingly - once a month or every quarter - so this is a newer craft I've had the privilege of exploring and honing. These knives are more detailed towards detail and pattern - a little break away from the usual grind.
My Journey into Bladesmithing
Просмотров 812Год назад
After quitting my job as a product designer in 2018, Balete Blades, a passion project, began. Since then, the journey has been of persistent experimentation and discovery as I push to craft handmade knives, exploring new materials and compositions to complete extraordinary, one-of-a-kind knives. This is the story so far.
