Last year, I joined the WITH ARMOUR design team, and I’m excited to introduce our first collaboration: THE TRAPPER, now available for pre-order.

As part of THE CHIVALRY COLLECTION, THE TRAPPER sets a new benchmark for premium production knives. It features an exceptional mirror-polished M390 steel blade enhanced with a durable DLC coating, combining striking aesthetics with outstanding performance.

As the OEM manufacturer behind numerous well-known knife brands, WITH ARMOUR has been producing knives for two generations with a clear mission: “Making best-in-class production knives.” While advanced CNC machining ensures exceptional precision, the flawless mirror finish of THE TRAPPER can only be achieved through meticulous hand sanding by skilled craftsmen.

Watch the video and see the quality for yourself.

Limited to just 50 individually numbered pieces, THE TRAPPER is available for pre-order now. If you're interested in securing one, please contact me directly.

Expected delivery: August 2026.

Blown away by this collaboration with @chie_abyssdesign from Japan. She’s the master engraver behind the iconic Japanese Higonokami knives, and I’m truly honored she agreed to work together on this piece.

Another awesome collab RAMBLER pimped by Dutch knife maker Gudy Van Poppel. All hand engraved & acid etched with a custom titanium lanyard.

We’ll be exhibiting at the KNIFE SHOW AUSTRIA!

I’ve reserved a small batch of Ramblers exclusively for collaborations with talented artists and makers around the world. The first two are now ready—customized by South African maker Trevor Woolfson—and they turned out absolutely stunning!

From April 4 to 6, 2026, the MUSÉE DU FER ET DU CHEMIN DE FER in Vallorbe, Switzerland, will host the nineteenth edition of the Cutlers Festival. Studio Blade has proudly exhibited at this event for the past three years, and we are excited to participate again in 2026.

On Saturday 8 and Sunday 9 November 2025, the 24th edition of the BKS knife fair will take place in Gembloux, Belgium.

Studio Blade will be there!

I was interviewed by Phillip Ortman who runs the STEEL FOR FOOD blog. He’s passionate about kitchen knives & food!

Also, he made a Swiss-Mexican fusion dish inspired by the interview. Check out the recipe!

Unfortunately for us -makers & aficionados- a knife is increasingly perceived not as a tool, but as a weapon. In many countries, stricter laws mean that even the carrying of small pocket knives is banned. This development is particularly worrying for us, who work daily with high-quality knives.

It is therefore all the more important that organisations such as Messerverbot-nein-danke become active in Austria and advocate for the reasonable handling of knives. T

Blade Show 2025 is a wrap!

I’m proud to announce that I passed my final inspection and am now a full voting member of the Knifemakers Guild. It’s an incredible honor to join a guild that includes some of the best makers in the world. I’m thankful for all the support along the way—what a ride it’s been!

This video is all about the design details, materials, and functionalities of the RAMBLER.

In 2024, Instagram began censoring knife-related posts on its platform. Since then, makers and collectors showcasing their work have experienced a severe loss of reach. For many, Instagram is a crucial promotional tool, significantly impacting their sales.

What does this mean?

It all begins with an idea. The Rambler is now available after a succesfull Kickstarter campaign.
