Welcome

Hello!
My name is Peter Pfaffeneder and I live in Losenstein in the Kalkalpen National Park. I manufacture individual knives for unique people, in all kinds of shapes and finishes, all have in common the production in traditional manual work. It is nice to live a craft which was unfortunately almost extinct recently. Forging knives which far exceed the quality of serial knives is my passion. I make my knives from the highest quality materials on the market, I combine the best steel grades in my damask to create beautiful blades. In addition, I combine only the highest quality handle materials to produce high quality knives in terms of appearance and quality. I don’t produce anything cheaply or to save costs, I’m talking about honest handcrafting, all from a single source. It is the feeling you feel when working with my knives that justifies the production effort. Through the multi-layered designs, I ensure that individuality is preserved. For years, I have been studying the millennia-old art of knife making and borrowing and perfecting the best techniques from the old masters of Japan, the masters of Germany and Austria until I was able to make the kind of knives you want. Quality is paramount with my knives.
