guy stainthorp | custom knife maker




	I work alone in my workshop in Nottingham and as far as is practicable, I prefer sole-authorship on my work. The only work I out-source is the heat-treating of stainless steel and acquiring certain folding knife parts. Being handmade, each knife will exhibit slight differences and characteristics that make it unique and add to the pride of ownership of a handmade blade. 90% of my output is fixed blades in O1 carbon steel, but I also use RWL-34 stainless for folders and occasional fixed blades. I will work with a customer on making a knife to their design or tailoring one of mine to fit. Again, any questions, please contact me.
