Stuart Johnson has been a lifelong crafter and got into making knives in 2019. He has a passion for learning and precision, making anything from folding knives to chef knives.

Stuart's dive into knife-making began when learning about “heat treating during my engineering apprenticeship… an interest in the mechanics of pocket knives gave me a desire to try and design and make my own.” Now a qualified fitter/welder by trade, he utilises his skills and knowledge to craft precision blades. He works out of his shop in Havelock at the mouth of the Pelorus River, Marlborough Sounds.

Total length 29cm, blade length 19cm.
