Peasant Knife Kitset

In 1983, New Zealand master knifemaker Bryan Baker turned his hobby into a profession out of necessity and founded Svörd Knives, a company for all knife enthusiasts who value high quality and functional design. Due to small production runs, the knives were initially expensive, whereupon the founder continued to deepen his expertise in materials science and marketing in order to establish his brand piece by piece. High-quality steel grades as well as unique processing methods give Svörd Knives their special strength and durability, which did not go unnoticed by other markets such as the USA or neighboring Australia for long. Today, Svörd knives are sold worldwide, making Bryan Baker's former vision a reality: Practical knives 100% handmade in New Zealand, available for an affordable price, finely tuned with a refreshing touch of idyllic distance.
