Martin Huber has been forging knives since the age of 16. From a very young age it was clear to Martin that he wanted to be a blacksmith. There might be a little family influence involved. Martin has a slightly higher iron content in his blood than others. His grandfather was a blacksmith, and both of his parents worked as mechanical and automotive engineers, blacksmiths, and machinists. 


Martin is deeply inspired by the process of making knives and the world around him. Each knife produced is unique, often influenced by his peers in the artisan knife making world, by nature and a close-knit team that is always keen to find the next challenge. Martin and his team produce all kinds of knives, but his kitchen knives are some of best around.

A Martin Huber knife is characterised by a thoughtful design that begins with a focus on durability, fit and finish and performance and ends with amazingly unique materials and style. We are very proud to be able to offer the work of Martin and his team here at Modern Cooking. If you are lucky enough to obtain one of Martins knives, we have no doubt you will be just as impressed as we are.
