Joan, a mechanic by trade, hunting enthusiast and cutlery. Llorenç the main architect of the custom made hunting knives we make, born in Olot in 1974. I learn quickly from my father's hobbies was already custom made hunting knives for hunters and friends. Once I finish my studies in fine arts, drawing and painting, went to work for 3 years in an industrial engineering firm, where I learn to work the steel. In 1992 we take a trip to Thiers and Paris to see the largest knife exhibition held there, I was so pleasantly surprised that in 1994 it set up with my father a small workshop in Riudaura (Girona) and since then we custom made hunting knives . All artisans and knives are completely handmade, from design, we do thinking about the use and the aesthetic to the finish and holster. The elaborate sheet steel provided with high quality. Bonpertuis house or Bohler. We use steel as the 440C, the ATS34, D2 are high quality stainless steel. We also use stainless steel damask Damasteel. And as for carbon steels used the O1, or XC75 XC100 also manufacture carbon Damascus. These heat-treated steels well with a good sharp blades make a shaving cut. We work both as rough forging. To work on forging better go carbon steel because it can shape and twist better than the 440C that also forged, although it is difficult and has more technical limitations. We also work for grinding, polishing with banda (essential tool for all artisan) above the 440C, D2, ATS34 and stainless Damascus steel for higher quality parts and luxury. But all are hand custom made hunting knives one by one and you can choose the finish, for example a specific decorated spine or any material on the handle . . . . To use handles all types of natural materials and noble Asian buffalo horn, antler of deer, facochero tusk, ivory, and all types of wood such as briar root, olive, Macassar ebony, iron wood, rosewood, palo saint of Madagascar and stabilized as a result of wood and roots of poplar negundo. Handles can be custom made hunting knives whole (because the blade is tang) or handle (because the blade is one piece) and use leather covers embossed by hand and adapted to each knife in the wet. We often use sewing goatskin and sewn with different bent or twisted waxed thread. We hope you like our knives, we all feel like they are well finished with good materials and also to suit the client if it is in order. We accept customer designs and reviewed if necessary. . . .
