My first handmade knife.
My name is Alex Boshuizen. I'm 25 years old and I live in the Netherlands.
I'm a Human Movement Scientist (Bsc), currently studying for a master's degree.
I received my first knife from my father when I was very young and have collected them ever since. A few years ago, I made my first handmade knife with nothing more than a hacksaw and files.
Since then, over the course of the past few years, I've expanded my possibilities and practiced my skills to a point where I can confidently say I make great knives, for a great price. Whether it be a full custom design of your own or one of my available knives and models, every knife that leaves my shop is made to the best of my abilities.
