The word of the craftsman

The word of the craftsman

My name is Gabriel, and my journey has always been guided by curiosity and the desire to understand how things work. As a child, I would dismantle everything I could. This desire to explore the insides of objects, to touch, to feel, and to see in order to understand, has always driven me. I initially pursued studies in architecture, drawn to drawing and design, but I quickly realized that I needed to work with materials using my hands. This is how I turned towards knifemaking.

My apprenticeship was enriched by wonderful encounters, and I had the chance to learn alongside David Lespect, an experienced knifemaker, who introduced me to the mechanics of the liner lock and the attention to detail. Today, I dedicate most of my time to creating unique folding knives, forging some blades from Damascus steel or working others cold. For me, each knife is a new exploration, a search for the perfect balance between aesthetics and functionality.

The particularity of the craftsman

Gabriel is a knifemaker who combines great mechanical precision with constant artistic research. His initial training in architecture and various experiences have led him to develop a unique style, blending rigor and creativity. His approach to knifemaking focuses on the folding knife, and more particularly on the liner lock mechanism, which he perfects by adjusting each component to achieve smooth and intuitive one-handed operation.

Gabriel works with a wide variety of materials, from wood to titanium, including more exotic materials like mammoth tusk. Through each creation, he seeks to marry clean lines and textural contrasts, while respecting both artisanal tradition and technical innovation.
