How it all started?
Ever since I can remember I was very interested in manual creative work, first it was handcrafted boats made from pine bark, later wooden stick airplane models. While in primary school I started to attend airplane models workshops where i got familiarised with various methods of working with wood and metal, but more so the instructors taught me the work ethic and the importance of appreciation and respect to tools and materials I used to create my models. Then started my interest in history and especially weaponry used then. I have made my first knives by polishing old steel files, later I started to re-forge the files on a piece of old rail track and I started to decorate the finished blades with silver and bronze. I have also started to pay a lot of interest into old jewellery and old methods and techniques of creating it. In my years of studies and later this became my source of income.
Currently I mostly focus on restoration of historical blades quite often damaged by incorrect care and conservation and I am making my own swords and knives as well. The quality of every finished product is very important to me, every sword and every knife has his own unique finishing setting.
