My name is Niko, I'm a bladesmith and craftsman behind Niko Forge. I have been practicing blacksmithing since 2016, turning my passion for traditional craftsmanship into a professional craft.

I specialise in hand forged kitchen knives, custom knives and forged axes, as well as handmade leather goods. Every piece is forged, shaped, finished and assembled by hand in my workshop, with close attention to quality, functionality and detail.

My main focus is on premium handmade kitchen knives. Each kitchen knife is individually designed and crafted to provide the right balance, geometry, comfort and performance for its owner. I also create hunting knives, axes, custom sheaths and other handcrafted pieces.

Every Niko Forge piece can be fully customised to the customer. The blade shape, size, steel, handle materials, dimensions, finish and small details can all be adapted to your preferences and intended use. Handles can be made from materials such as stabilised wood, while leather accessories can be designed to match the piece.

For me, a handmade object should be more than just a tool. It should be a personal piece, made specifically for its owner and built to last.
