I have always needed to make things, to handle objects and to work with materials. Before fully dedicating myself to knifemaking, I started by restoring old bicycles. Gradually, knife creation took a central place, until it became an obvious passion.

Since 2019 knifemaking allows me to bring together materials I love working with, such as steel, wood and leather. It is a space of free expression where I can fully embrace creativity. Each knife I make is a unique piece. Even when starting from an existing template, shapes and colors evolve spontaneously, guided by the inspiration of the moment or by your wishes.

In my knife e-shop you'll find handcrafted knives, made from carbon or stainless steel, each one chosen for a specific purpose from everyday use to more demanding precision tasks.
No mass production here, all my knives are made one by one in my lovely workshop in Brussels / Uccle.

I love working handles with recycled skateboard wood, which is made of 7 layers of maple wood. It's a material full of surprises, where every layer reveals its own pattern and color. But as a true wood lover, you'll also find from time to time a model with natural wood handle

Looking for a custom knife? I’d be happy to discuss your dream one. And if you're around Brussels, hit me up at the workshop for a coffee!

A few words about my journey

Thanks to Ride All Day, Brussels' oldest skate shop, my main supplier of decks.

Each handle scale requires lengthy work: stripping the deck down, cutting and gluing the slices to create the striped pattern.

A vast choice of natural wood scales where I love to lose myself in my creations — Wenge, Bocote, Olive, Cherry… to name a few, each selected for its density, grain and character. Also available on order.

And my son, never far away, taking care of the final cleaning and second quality check.
