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.

For Knife for Step Son5.0Theo 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 :)

For Chef Knife With Mammoth Tusk4.8Theo 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!

For Ht-16 Tanto / Survival / Apocalyptic / Tactical / Damascus5.0First 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.

Garrett Knutson
For Garrett's Hunting Knife4.8My knife came out amazing. The blade came out looking like the work of art that it is and yet it still keeps all of the strength and utility that any knife should have. Theo really worked with me on the design process to ensure my idea came through and he constantly gave me updates. 11/10 and I will definitely be working with him again.

For Michael's Straight Razors4.8Was 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!

For Richmond Fighter5.0He 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.
JKjoseph Kelly
For Kitchen knife5.0This was such a great project. I have a couple just got married and they love cooking. I thought a custom kitchen knife would be great. What i loved about buying this was that i felt like i was part of the process. I saw the forging, could ask questions about how the process worked etc. Also- Need to mention that the picture does not do this justice. This is just beautiful! Thanks!
