Maple Slicer
Kitchen knife forged from 15n20 high carbon steel. I designed the guard in a 3D modeling program, scaling it to the forged blade. It was then 3D printed and cast in solid bronze and polished. The handle is maple with it's live end exposed. This is a style I've been working on, using technology that has only recently come into existence.

Born and raised in the city, I am a New Yorker to the core. I’ve seen this island at its worst and made it through in one piece; so it’s reasonable to say I would like to continue living and working in an urban environment for years to come. In the past I have freelanced as a 3D computer artist and animator, ironwork designer, and product designer/developer. Today I am a full time teacher and bladesmith.
2017 I won Forged In Fire (a competition knife and sword making show on the History channel) twice, becoming the third Forged In Fire champion of champions. The winnings from the show allowed me to grow my tiny shop into a small school, and 2019 we moved into Industry City to grow the school and add the storefront.
