  MY STORY  

Welcome to my about me page! My name is Jamie Oakley and I am a young knife maker. I have always been fascinated by the art of knife making and the skill and precision that goes into crafting each blade.

Growing up, I spent a lot of time working with my hands and building things. Whether it was building contraptions in my back garden or fixing up an old bike, I always loved the satisfaction of seeing a project come together. As I got older, I started to explore more complex projects, and that's when I discovered the world of knife making.

I started learning about knife making through books and online tutorials, and soon I was hooked. I invested in some basic tools and started experimenting with different designs and techniques. As I honed my skills, I began to produce knives that were not only functional but also beautiful.

One of the things that I love about knife making is that there is always more to learn. I am constantly researching new techniques and materials, and I am always pushing myself to improve my craft. Whether I am forging a blade from scratch or putting the finishing touches on a handle, I take great pride in every knife that I create.

For me, knife making is not just a hobby or a job - it's a passion. I am always looking for new challenges and opportunities to grow as a craftsman. If you're interested in owning a one-of-a-kind knife that has been hand crafted with care and precision, I would be honoured to work with you. Thank you for taking the time to read about me and my craft.
