About Austin

Hi! My name is Austin Andrews. Ever since I was a little kid, I have loved the outdoors…and I’ve always carried a knife.

For as long as I can remember, knives have held a special fascination for me. The different shapes and styles, the forging techniques, steel composition, and fine wooden handles could hold my interest for hours. Eventually, I decided to try making one myself. It took a lot of trial and error, some figuring, some refiguring, and a bit more frustration than I’d expected, but before too long, I was starting to be pleased with my efforts.

That beginning was years ago and I am happy to say that I’m more passionate than ever about turning pieces of metal and chunks of wood into useful, lasting pieces of art. It is a special thrill to watch someone’s eyes light up the first time they see a knife that was created just for them.
