All knives are 100% handmade from start to finish with great care taken to create the best possible piece. While the cutlery may be considered a work of art, they are designed to work in both the kitchen and the field. Being of heirloom quality, these knives are intended to make memories and be handed down through generations.
Niskala strives to convey a sense of peace through the melding of many types of materials. They express this aesthetic by using the ancient techniques of sawing, forming, texturing, torching, and shaping the pieces.
Niskala learned this work from their father and grandfather. Learning how to use old-fashioned tools enabled her to create pieces that have a playful and modern flair but also respect the tradition of the craft that was passed down. Learning skills such as metal smithing allowed me to take my craft further and develop my own unique style.
