Hi and welcome.
I'm Patrick, a 36 year old maker from a small village in the middle of the Netherlands.
I have a deep passion for everything handmade, from cheese to knives and everything inbetween.
I'm a former chef that made a career switch in 2020 to become an Artisan cheesemaker. I found a small cheesemaker with huge ambition to conquer the cheese world and its so much fun to be a part of that journey.
In my spare time I love the art of making hand forged kitchen knives.
As you might be able to tell from my portfolio, I draw huge inspiration out of the Japanese kitchen knife world and I would describe my style as rough/industrial with a high end fit and finish. I like my knives to be used daily and not to end up in a display cabinet somewhere.
All my knives are hand forged from high end carbon steels and made by me. And all my san mai is made in house.
I don't take custom orders because I've found my knives turn out better when I'm making them when and how I want to and don't have any time pressure.
All in its own pace.
