Brandon has had an eye for quality and handmade goods for as long as he can remember. From a young age, he had to know how everything worked and would take apart every toy he got, just to see the mechanics behind it. This led him to obtain a degree as a Mechanical Engineer, and also what sparked his interest in making beautiful and functional knives and wood products. I am thrilled to have him join the team as our resident knife expert. Brandon will pop by every now again to share insightful knowledge about knife skills, caring for kitchen equipment, what materials to use, and more! Stop by his website and follow him on Instagram to see his ever-growing list of stunning, handmade products.
