ABOUT

"oel. kitchen knives" is a small workshop, based in Hesse - Germany producing one of a kind, high performance kitchen knives. Each knife is carefully designed and crafted using mainly hand held tools. From design and choice of material, through to forging, shaping and heat treatment, the utmost care and attention is taken at every step of the creative process.

Usually I work in very small batches or even make one knife after another.

After working for several years in the steel industry as a tool mechanic, I made my first knife in 2015. I was pretty pleased with the result and making knives soon became an obsession. Since then, I've been continually producing knives and perfecting my technique with every project. A clean, harmonious design, getting the best possible performance out of each material, is always my goal.
