Eric is truly talented in so many areas; it's impressive he forges with a coal furnace and hammers by hand to make his knives.

Thank you for giving me peace and comfort in my life far more than I can ever express. It's funny how a total stranger can be such a positive inspiration that the struggles your going through don't seem so bad anymore. Thank you Eric Schweig for being my light 🙏

I met Eric Schweig through my friend Carmen Moore. He joined us for lunch at a restaurant on Commercial Drive in Vancouver. Incredibly intelligent guy and it was an honour to meet him.

I'm fascinated by the process. I love that he sources his material from the scrap yard and turns it into something so useful and beautiful!
