TRETTEN KNIVE // THIRTEEN KNIVES

From a hobby to a passion.

My name is Alex and I am a knife maker based in Hareskovby, Denmark. I live with my wife and our three children and work as a Mechanical Engineer. In 2019 I started making knives in my spare time. Knife making combined two things that I enjoy, learning new things and working with my hands. From the first basic knife to my latest pattern welded forged knife, my skills are constantly improving, pushing me to create more beautiful functional tools.

I consider all of the knives I make to be quality tools which, when cared for, will last for many years. Knives are a tool to help build a healthy family and to bring joy to the dinner table every day. All knives I design, make and sell sit proudly on knife racks all over the world and I am sure they will be firm favourites for years to come.

All of my knife designs are extensively tested in my own kitchen and with professional chefs for extended periods. Only when I am happy with the fit and function of the new knife will the new design be offered to my customers.

​I work alone and I do not produce large volumes but I try to release work in little batches about six times a year. If you'd like to hear from me when my shop gets updated please sign up to my newsletter. You won't hear from me too often, but you'll be first to know when I add new knives to the shop.

Feel free to reach out if you have any questions.
