BASTIEN COVES

In his own words - "For the little story, I fell in love with knives when I was 7 years old and that is when it all started. I grew up coming across different knives and eventually decided to make my own.I started my training with a famous traditional Corsican knife maker called Christian Moretti and was taught another French style of handmade knives with François Bignon. I created a full handmade knife firstly in my head before putting my ideas on a piece of paper. Then, the custom knife came to life in my workshop. I make a point in creating the custom knife all by myself, from cutting the steel to shaping the knife, making the handle, grinding, sharpening and engraving. I use mostly D2 steel but occasionally other variants. I live my passion every day thanks to people who share this same passion for my knives."
