About The Maker
Hello, and welcome to the Jh.Cutlery online shop. I would like to thank you for taking the time out of your day to visit. Before I send you down the browsing rabbit hole you are about to fall into... let me tell you a little bit about myself and how I came into this profession.
My name is Jamie Hammond, I am a bladesmith and knifemaker. You could say I started this Journey at the young age of 16, when I bought my first Katana sword. Ever since that day I have been amazed by the process of creating swords, knives, axes, and cutlery. I was interested in the craft, but didn't have the resources or knowledge to take it further then an interest at that time.
In January of 2016 at the age of 31, I decided I finally wanted to try. During my Tool and Die apprenticeship I was sent on a materials run to pick up supplies. While i was at one of the metal suppliers, I asked what type of steel was good for knife blades and he pointed me in the direction of some 01 Tool steel. I then created a design for a skinning knife, cut a test blank from some wood and went to work on making my first real knife. Needless to say the first one was pretty crude for the standards I have now, but it paved the way for much more knowledge and the idea that "yes I can actually do this".
Since then I have been on a constant mission to become better and better at this craft. In September of 2020 with the support of my beautiful wife, I was able to make the leap to be a maker full-time. Its been a wonderfully stressful and busy adventure to this point, and I would like to thank my family and my friends for the amazing support they have given me. I also want to give a special shout out to the Demerling brothers, without them none of this would be happening. Thanks guys 🍻.
I truly believe that when you pick up one of my knives, you will feel and see the quality and attention to detail that you will not find with a lot of the other handmade or even factory made knives on the market. But dont let me be the one to tell you that, pick one up for yourself or for a loved one and see the difference in a Jh.Cutlery one of a kind knife.
Thank you and I hope you enjoy my work.
Cheers.
