I’m Martin, and I make kitchen knives by hand in my workshop on Funen, Denmark.

It started with a simple fascination with knives. In 2018, a friend and I decided to try making our own knife from scratch – forging, hardening and grinding it ourselves. It wasn’t pretty. But it lit a fire in me, and I have been building on that knowledge and experience ever since.

Today every knife is forged, heat-treated, ground and finished by me. I forge my own Damascus and work with steels such as ApexUltra, 26C3 and other high-performance steels. Every choice of steel, grind and handle comes down to one question: how does the knife cut, and how does it feel after hours of use?

My knives are found in professional kitchens such as Noma, Alchemist, Henne Kirkeby Kro and SHIA, as well as in home kitchens around the world. Chefs are my toughest critics, and their feedback shapes every new knife.

No two knives are identical. If you would like one made for you, take a look at commissions, or sign up to the newsletter to hear first when new knives are released.
