INQUIRIES ONLY
On this blade finished to a level of perfection that begins where that of others ends, a hint of the forge comes on part of the blade. On this construction with black G10 frame with desert ironwood plates, the guard and rear bolster are made of polished and hammered stainless steel, with a flawlessly fitted brass habaki reinforcing the guard blade junction. Here, too, Dominik presents a very complex masterpiece with Japanese notes, with an aesthetic that draws on the past to underscore all the promise that still lies in the craft. His blade is like a musical phrase, where the slightest nuance amplifies the whole.

Knifemaker

Dominik Sulej

From Poland.

Dominik had been teaching literature at university for 15 years when he decided to completely devote himself to his passion. He started making knives in 2013 and incorporated as a one-man company in 2019. His main inspiration comes from classic designs; though his favorite type of knife is a Bowie, in all its variations, he enjoys making knives for camping or hunting. Dominik’s kitchen and everyday carry knives also have quite a following. As a designer he seizes opportunities to add a particular twist to traditional patterns. Here and there, a science fiction and fantasy aesthetic surfaces – perhaps because the visual aggressiveness is somehow useful when drawing knives. The beauty of a knife is something hard to grasp in words – it’s easier to make a beautiful knife, especially because, in the case of knives, beauty often lies in simplicity.
