My name is Keld Lisby Hansen - and I am a knife maker.

I live on a disused farm approx. 10. km. east of Viborg in central Jutland.

I started making knives once in the early 1990s when I had to use a knife for scouts. It caught me and I made one more and then one more and so on.

In the beginning, I read all the literature I could find in the library and tried it out. Later I have participated in several courses with some of the best knife makers and I have also held knife courses myself.

I make all the parts for my knives myself. In the beginning, I forged my own blades in "old-fashioned" manners - with anvil and ace. Now I have switched to sharpening the blades on my home-built belt sander.

I never make two knives that are the same. I make all the parts on my knives myself, from damask knife blades to shafts and leather sheaths.

I make utility knives and use only the best materials. I use materials such as mammoth tusk, clean wire, elk wire, exotic and Nordic woods, stabilized wood and metals such as silver, bronze and nickel silver etc.
