The Blackbear series represents everything I love most about my craft: ALWAYS having access to a knife that is satisfying to use. The kind of knife you use every day, and that you take care of and store properly.

​

In a world of overconsumption and planned obsolescence, we have the power to make a difference by being mindful consumers.

​

So I set myself this goal: a series of knives that as many people as possible can afford, using the same quality steel as always but in a simpler, more refined construction. To this, we add a handle made from durable recycled material, the elegance of brass, and a solid yet removable assembly to make it easy to maintain and preserve for decades to come.

​

The real challenge: achieving all this in a $200 knife.

​

The key: a design that allows us to be ultra-efficient in production, without cutting corners, and an accessible recycled material.
