ABOUT
Hi folks, my name is Michael Peterson (mike) for short. Ive been blade smithing for over 20 yrs. My father Chris Peterson, who is a master bladesmith, began teaching me his trade at the young age of 10 years old.
I specialize in hand-made Damascus steel and all blades are forged to individual shape. I take pride in the fact that my knives are all made using traditional methods and tools.
From Forge to Finish all knives are Handmade. All bolsters are made from German Silver or 416 Stainless Steel, Brass and Copper.
