The Maker

Every blade starts as a bar of
raw steel and a clear vision.

I'm Floris — a one-man forge in Groningen. I make knives the slow way: steel, fire, hammer, and time. No CNC, no outsourcing. Every knife you see here passed through my hands dozens of times before it was ready to leave. I'm a member of the Dutch Knife Artisans community and I forge everything from everyday kitchen knives to one-off collector's pieces.
