Artifex Knife Co was born in 2025 from a simple yet passionate hobby. What began as evenings spent experimenting with steel, wood, and design quickly grew into a pursuit of craftsmanship and artistry. Our founder, driven by a love for cooking and a fascination with traditional bladesmithing, started creating handmade knives for friends and family.
The name Artifex—Latin for “craftsman”—captures our philosophy: every knife is a work of art, forged with care and precision. From the very beginning, our mission has been to combine timeless techniques with modern innovation, offering knives that are both practical tools and personal expressions of style.
