Tobias Heldqvist

Attention to detail, precision forging and quality is what it's all about. Tobias deliberately keeps his production small so that he can ensure that each piece is forged to the highest possible standard. With a focus on forging each piece as close to profile as possible and with consistent and precise bevels. The result is a knife with stone ready bevels, beautifully even shinogi lines (Cladding Lines) and most importantly fantastic cutting performance.

With time spent training in Japan and many years working as a metal fabricator on both modern and architectural restoration projects, Tobias is a rare breed who brings formal training as a blacksmith and fabricator as a foundation to his knife making.

Merging some of the best-known Japanese techniques and profiles with traditional Swedish design and unique local materials. Tobias's knives are stunning, precision forged cutting tools, with heirloom quality that is truly rare in this modern world.
