WHO WE ARE
"Perfection can only be reached if you aim for it".
- Alessio Zilli
RESULTS TO LAST A LIFETIME
Alessio originally hails from Switzerland, coming to Canada in 2009. Prior to his arrival in Canada, he completed a 4 year apprenticeship in artistic blacksmithing with the intention of bringing his knowledge and skill to Western Canada.
​
"My passion for producing exquisite, high quality knives has firm roots in the art of bladesmithing (hand-forging different steels to obtain a desired result). From start to finish, A to Z, my attention to detail results in stunning and functional implements that 'one can grow old with'."
- Alessio Zilli, Journeyman Artistic Blacksmith
FLEXIBLE CREATOR,
