So there are knife makers out there. Lots of them. All over instagram....
and then there are knife making masters.
Vorn Knives has got to be one of the most talented craftsman out there.
Everything looks like it was found on a Viking ship laden with the hippest beardy dudes from the basements of Brooklyn, distilled from a silicone slick  mash of Japanese-esque proportion and balance.

Don't know why but I've obsessed with blacksmithing and knife making for quite a while now.
The thing is, I haven't made anything with fire hammers and molten metal except a spanner for my router. And i carved that out of a piece of mild steel with my grinder after reaching that weird white noise level of frustration from looking for something for too long in my messy garage.

Apparently the side of my family that caught a boat from England to Brazil in the 1800s were all knife makers and silversmiths. So I guess its in my blood, but as far as I know there haven't been any knife makers in the family since the Brazil family arrived in South Africa.
Throwback.
