Kitchens are at the heart of our communities and the food that moves through them is part of the life in each of us.
Witri Knives is building a future of awareness and love for our materials, our food,
and all that we are related to.

These are hardworking knives, made to be used as well as admired.
I use my custom knives daily at home in my kitchen. My love of nature inspires my material choices. I use material sourced locally—often from land and places meaningful to me and my customers—whenever I can.
These are hardworking knives, made to be used as well as admired.
I use my custom knives daily: in my kitchen when I prepare food for my family; out in the fields of our farm, where we harvest the plants we feed to our community; and out on the land, where I hunt and fish with an emphasis on caretaking the local wild populations.
Each of these activities requires a different type of knife. Each activity influences my designs.

In a culture where everything is made cheaply and designed to be thrown away, it gives me great joy to make heirloom quality knives.
Each knife is made with the highest quality materials and techniques. While the knives I make are designed to be effective and beautiful, they are also made to be resilient. Each one can withstand decades of regular use in the kitchen.
I seek to inspire a renewed love of quality and an appreciation for intentionally made tools that support a healthful life.

What is the best knife design?
In truth, there’s no right answer. The best knife design depends entirely on the preferences and needs of the knife’s owner.
There are, of course, standard design features, such as blade length or general shape. But things like a knife’s weight, balance, steel type, and handle material are all variable, and should be customized to what you like and what role this tool will play in your daily life.
Reach out to me for a design consultation! I enjoy talking people through the options to come up with something truly personal and unique.

When considering a knife design, you’ll likely gravitate to something that calls out to you. If you are new to quality knives and are gravitating in many directions at once, reach out to me for a design consultation!

Quite likely, you already know what knife design is best. And I’d love to build it for you.
