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.

Jan 7, 2019Theo was a delight from beginning to end. He offered suggestions, provided his opinion on the direction and aesthetics of the knife, kept me updated with progress. The knife is a gift and altho I have not presented it yet, I feel it will be a hit. Proceed with confidence with this artist -- you have chosen wisely :)

Jan 26, 2017Theo did an absolutely amazing job on my knife! He added a lot of extra touches that I wouldn't have thought of and the recipient loved it. Would highly recommend him. He sent me plenty of pictures and even a video update during the process. Answered my questions in a timely manner. Great working with him!! Thank you Theo!

Dec 25, 2016First 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.
