He’s a talented Danish industrial designer and an up-and-coming knifemaker shaking up the industry who once said “If you don’t want to make your second knife, don’t make the first.” We’re thankful he’s been drawn to knifemaking because his designs are unique, fun, functional and making noise in the knife world. His Rock Lobster collaboration has a blade shape not defined by traditional knifemaker labels. Part Wharncliffe part knobby nosed, its thick tip eats up hard cuts and offers loads of personality.
