About Me: I’m Alexander. I was born in ’91 in the northernmost parts of Sweden. Ever since I was a kid I’ve been fascinated by the art of craftsmanship, and more precisely the handicrafting of knives.

I was only 12 years old when I successfully, to some degree, made my first knife. It wasn’t the best looking knife but right there and then I knew that I’d found my passion. I fell in love with the process of knifemaking and through many years of trial and error I was fortunate enough to meet the world-renowned Mattias Styrefors, who eventually became my mentor and friend. For a couple of years we’ve been exchanging ideas and new concepts which has helped both of us to develop. I’m very grateful for having a veteran like Mattias by my side.
Interests: fishing and computer games.
