Based in the small West Sussex town of Shoreham-by-Sea, Andrew works from a modest workshop to produce a wide variety of knives; utility, kitchen and bushcraft knives, some re-enactment pieces as well as miscellaneous articles such as bangles, Mjölnir necklaces, metal scribes and kiridashi marking knives for woodworkers. Here are some of my past pieces.

I had a great day with Andrew in his workshop. From the moment I got there until I left, Andrew did everything possible to make my experience the best. By the end of the day, I had a knife I was proud to take home and show my family, from working the metal, to adding a handle, Andrew had it all covered. Thanks for an amazing day
