A TRUE WORK OF ART DOES NO SIMPLY APPEAR OUT OF NOWHERE. IT BEGINS AS AN IDEA IN THE MIND OF ITS CREATOR, WHO THEN TURNS INTO A TANGIBLE FORM THROUGH HIS SKILL AND ARTISTRY. FOR THE FINAL CREATION TO BE GENUINE, THIS PROCESS MUST REMAIN UNINTERRUPTED FRON THE CONCEPTION TO COMPLETION.
I have been hot forging and metal sculpting steel in Canada for over 35 years and am extremely passionate about my work. I take pride in creating one of a kind items that will be unique to their new owners. I have delivered over 600 pieces of varied shape and size to just about every state in the USA and over 12 countries in Europe with 100% success every time.
When you own an item forged by me you will take great pride in knowing that it is the only one in the world, I may forge others in similar style and dimension but no two will ever be the same. Hand forging is an extremely difficult and labor intensive art form that produces stunningly beautiful, unique and superior cutlery. In today’s world of mass CNC machining and cheap investment casting, high quality hand made original works are becoming extremely difficult to find. I forge every item as if it were my very own. It gives me great satisfaction to think that long after I am gone, my blades will continue to serve their owners in silent testimony to my passion for this art form. I am extremely confident that the item you choose will meet or even exceed your expectations.
When it comes to cutlery I embrace many eras in history and will be constantly adding new items to my shop. If you like the look and feel of blades made long ago then my work is definitely for you.

Hi everyone! I don't know Andreas S. personally, but, I have come to know him through some recent business transactions we have completed together. Through those transactions, we have had much communication, and I have come to think of him as a friend. I find him honest, straightforward, and extremely knowledgeable in many areas. Our business together has provided me with some gorgeous knives, that I'm proud to say, are now the gemstones of my extensive collection. My dealings with Andreas have gone totally smoothly, with NO glitches whatsoever! He is a skilled craftsman with many years of hands-on experience with steel and fire! Andreas is about to enter a new area of creating, and I'm bugging him already to build a piece for me! He is very patient, so I know he doesn't let me get to him! When the time is right, I know he'll help me out! If you want a true, one-of-a-kind, work of art, then commission him to create something, to your specs, that you will treasure always! Don't wait too long though, as his workload increases daily! This man is a gentleman, a talented artist, and I only wish I had known him earlier! Thanks buddy!
