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.
Was great working with Theo. Kept me abreast of the projects progression every step of the way with pictures and videos and while it took slightly longer than I anticipated I never felt like I was in the dark. Look forward to additional projects down the line!
Theo is a master! The knife he completed for me is not only an extremely useful tool it is beautiful. His care and craftsmanship show in every detail.
He had excellent communication skills and gave me updated pics of my project often. He also gave me suggestions to improve my project as well. He went above and beyond with customer service and made my Knife exactly the way i wanted it.
First time ever getting a custom made knife and it turned out to be a one of kind, truely unique in everyway. It arrived just before Christmas and couldn't wait to open the box. As soon it was Christmas morning I opened the box. Looking forward to getting another knife made by Theo Nazz.
