About Us

I started this business because of one unforgettable knife I stumbled across in a small Asheville, North Carolina knife shop. The craftsmanship was incredible—beautiful lines, bold personality, and a handle that felt like it belonged in an art gallery. I tracked down the artist, only to learn he was hanging up his hammer to become a firefighter. I figured, “No problem, I’ll just find another maker.” But after hunting around online, I realized something surprising: no one was making truly fun, colorful, custom-handled knives with real character.

So I decided to make them myself. I import high-carbon steel blades from some of the best makers in Australia, Japan, Turkey, and Pakistan—blades that hold an edge and are built for real use, not just display. Then I create the handles from scratch using acrylics, hybrid resin, and maple or olive wood blocks. Sometimes I buy the materials, and other times I cast my own resin blocks to get just the right look. Every handle is turned by hand on a lathe, shaped and polished until it feels perfect. No two pieces are ever the same.

What started with knives has grown into a full collection of custom-handled kitchen tools and everyday gadgets. Today I make everything from pizza cutters and ice cream scoops to bottle openers, screwdrivers, and whisks—each one unique, each one made with care. If it can have a handle, I can make it into something beautiful. This business is my way of blending craftsmanship, creativity, and a bit of color into tools people use every day.

Our Values

Integrity

Integrity

I only work with reputable vendors and source blades from makers I trust. Every piece is crafted with care, and if something isn’t right, I make it right—immediately. My goal is for every customer to feel confident in both the product and the person behind it.

People First

People First

This started as a hobby, and the best part is seeing someone light up when they find “their” piece. I take time with every order because real people—not algorithms or assembly lines—are at the center of what I do. Your experience matters as much as the craftsmanship.

Community

Community

I love connecting with people face-to-face, which is why I regularly attend local fairs, markets, and community events. You can often find me at Palm Springs VillageFest, sharing my work, answering questions, and talking shop with anyone who stops by. Community keeps this craft fun and meaningful.

Authenticity

Authenticity

Every item I make reflects real craftsmanship, real materials, and a genuine passion for the process. Nothing is mass-produced—each handle is shaped, turned, and finished by hand. What you see is exactly what you get: honest work made with care and creativity.

Custom Designs

Custom orders are one of my favorite parts of this whole craft. Tell me your favorite colors—or the colors of the person you’re gifting it to—and I’ll start pulling materials that match the vibe. Let me know how you use your knife, pizza cutter, or kitchen gadget, and I’ll shape the handle to feel great in real everyday use. I’ll send photos or videos of several material options so you can choose exactly what speaks to you. Once we lock in the design, I get to work turning and finishing your custom handle by hand. Each piece is crafted specifically for you, never duplicated, and never rushed. A 50% deposit is kindly requested to begin the build, with the remaining balance due before shipping. Your custom piece will be worth the wait—made just for you from the first cut to the final polish. Turn around is usually about 2 weeks.
