My Journey into Bladesmithing

After quitting my job as a product designer in 2018, Balete Blades, a passion project, began.
Since then, the journey has been of persistent experimentation and discovery as I push to craft handmade knives, exploring new materials and compositions to complete extraordinary, one-of-a-kind knives.
This is the story so far.
