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.
