About
I am a self-taught engraving artist based in Ireland, specializing in custom engraved kitchen knives. My work merges craftsmanship and storytelling — transforming ordinary blades into meaningful pieces through hand-drawn and laser-engraved art.
Inspired by tribal, ancestral, and spiritual motifs, I aim to create functional objects that carry identity and emotion. Every engraving is unique, built to reflect the customer's vision, cultural symbols, or personal story.
This project explores the transformation of functional kitchen knives into expressive works of art through custom engraving. Each piece is crafted on high-quality steel blades and engraved with symbols inspired by tribal, spiritual, and cultural themes. My process blends traditional craftsmanship with modern precision, using both hand-drawn and laser engraving techniques. These knives are more than tools — they are carriers of story, identity, and personal meaning. Created in my home studio in Ireland, each design is unique, made to connect deeply with the person who holds it.
