The crafters of life
These lines
have shaped your life.
From the contour lines of the fields worked, the roads bending around
mountains and the ripple from the first drop of long awaited rain. The
glowing rings of oak disappearing into the fire pit and the folds of
fresh dough in the kitchen. Each unique and etched into your life story,
just as the soft lines of age that have shaped your father’s face and
hard working hands.
These lines guide us, define us, and remind us.
They come to life in our blades.

Our crafter
BARBAROS
We’d like you to visit our crafter, but he’s still busy in the studio.
Barbaros is a bit of an enigma, constantly on the verge of doing
something wild and adventurous. He moved to Cyprus with his family when
he was nine years old, and captivated by the Mediterranean.
Barbaros spent his time in a small studio workshop where you can only
make out the horizon, channeling his enthusiasm for pirate tales into
enthusiastic craftsmanship of the traditionally favored Damascus knives.
We reconnected years later, and what better way to rekindle a
relationship than to share a love of a beautiful craft?
the history
of damascus
Damascus is a well-known style of steel that is distinguishable by its contrasting marble light and dark design. There are two types of Damascus steel (cast Damascus steel and pattern-welded Damascus steel). Although similar looking, they are forged through very specific and different processes. Historically, Damascus steel was always prized for its beauty, as well as ability to keep a sharp edge while remaining strong and flexible. Seen as the “Steel of Ancients”, arms made of Damascus steel are superior to those made of iron. Damascus craftsmanship gained a reputation of near magical properties and with only a precious few that knew how to achieve this, it would become a precious piece of history for any arms enthusiast.
