SIGNATURE COLLECTION
Special Edition Knives made to collector standards within specific artistic themes
Knives for the Discerning Collector
The Signature Collection houses a body of work in modern EDC style knives that are one-of-a-kind pieces made without constraints.
Each of these pieces begins with an idea, a material, or particular combination of form and technique that I feel needs to be explored. None of these knives are made simply to fill a space in the catalogue. This collection represents the more expressive side of knifemaking at Akitsu Forge, using Japanese influenced techniques and materials in a contemporary form to create high end collectable knives. Particular attention is given to the relationship between blade and handle components with each element considered as part of the complete work.
There is no fixed number of knives that will be made for the Signature Collection. These pieces are only made when an idea becomes worth making. Each piece is individually documented, presented with its own design intent and theme, and released as a distinct piece.
If you are interested in acquiring one of these pieces, please Contact Me for further details.
