I’m interested in learning about makers who put a great deal of thought into their designs and work — but not ornamentation.
I put “simple” in quotes because there’s nothing simple about Tim Wright’s knives, for instance. But they’re not art pieces. They’re for using. I’d say the same of Scott Sawby’s knives. Those are both on the astronomically high end of the market, but I don’t think knives of this type have to be. I think of Hiro Ohta’s unadorned friction folders: thoughtfully made, but not filigreed in any way.
Who else might fit this category? Who would you say make the *finest* knives without tipping into the art market?
Curious to hear. Thanks!
