Daniel Venables

I trained as a glassblower throughout my time at uni, and during my second year of study I also started carving spoons from green wood. After a certain point, I needed a specialised knife. Rather than buying one (as would probably have been logical), I decided to make my own.

This is where my love of knifemaking started. I strive to make excellent quality tools that will last a lifetime. The majority of the timber I use for my handles is reclaimed - either from local suppliers, or timber I have salvaged myself.

I have a passion for learning new skills and anything I can make with my hands.
