Collaboration with Sharpeners & Finishers
If you finish knives on Japanese whetstones or offer professional sharpening and polishing, I’m open to collaborations that combine forging with high-level finishing. The goal is simple: consistent blanks, clear specs, and work you can be proud to sign.
Typical Work Stages I Deliver
Most often I provide a knife at an agreed stage, for example:
forged and profiled to shape,
heat-treated,
and prepared for handle fitting.
Depending on the project, I can deliver earlier or later stages. Everything is defined upfront: geometry targets, finish expectations, and the exact step where the handover happens.
Pricing & Minimum Quantity
Collaborations can start from 1 piece.
Pricing is individual and depends on:
number of knives,
material and construction,
time required,
target finish level,
and order regularity.
Regular partners get priority planning and predictable handover schedules.
Why Collaborate
New clients for both sides through shared projects and referrals.
More variety: unique forged blanks + your finishing signature.
Clear, repeatable specs: easier planning and consistent results.
Reliable workflow with regular handovers (when demand is steady).
A stronger final product: forging + finishing done by specialists.
