"I made my first knife when i was 14, so 33 years ago,’ explains fogarizzu, who went into the art of making custom blades 25 years ago. ‘usually I start by thinking what kind of knife, or object, I want to make, and then I start making hand drawings, which takes a long time as I never use the first draft. when I am sure, I start drawing the knife in the computer so I can measure the shape and size accurately, and then produce all the templates I need to make each part." - Antonio Fogarizzu (Design Boom)

Antonio Fogarizzu grew up in a small town in Sardinia. He comes from a family of artisan ironworkers who have been practicing their craft since 1885. Antonio spent many summers in the workshop with his father learning the art, and his most prized possession is the first knife he made and sold when he was 14. Feeling the need to see the world beyond Sardinia, he left for England after graduating from high school. He was drawn back to Sardinia, and when he returned, he began learning in earnest the techniques of knife construction and design. Antonio crafts the traditional Sardinian knives of his hometown but with a distinctive international touch influenced by his years living abroad.
