Beautiful handcrafted knifes
by expert Bladesmith Carl Camp
My aim is simple – to design and make some of the finest bespoke Damascus steel kitchen knives available in the UK today. Every knife is a labour of love, hand made by myself at my forge on the outskirts of the historic city of York. I pride myself in creating beautiful but practical knives that can be treasured and with the proper care will last a lifetime.

“If anyone out there is struggling with the question of what to buy as a 50th birthday present for the man who has everything, one of Carl Camp's knives is the answer. With the possible exception of the Morris Minor I was given when I was 21, this is quite simply the finest gift I have ever received.”
“We have had a bottle opener and a Damascus baby spoon made by Carl - the attention to detail is fabulous!”
“One our wedding gifts was a beautifully crafted Damascus carving knife and fork. We love it and it's so special as it's bespoke. ”
“I am delighted with the small Damascus cross you made, which hangs above my writing desk. The play of light during the day brings out the veins in the metal – fascinating; thank you.”
“I own two knives from Carl and use them everyday. Both are beautifully made. The rocker on the blades makes them easy to sharpen with a steel and these blades are incredibly sharp! I love the fact that my all-in-one knife is recycled from a concrete breaker chisel bit that would otherwise be thrown away. I really don't think you can buy a better knife.”
“Carl's work is stunning, not only a beautifully hand crafted, functional knife but a stand alone piece of artwork to treasure. Every chop, slice and dice is a pleasure and I cannot recommend Carl's work enough to anyone who appreciates great quality, made with pride and attention to detail, that will last a lifetime.”
“This blade is honestly closer to a Samurai sword than a kitchen knife. It is perfectly balanced and glides through anything it touches. But I usually keep it on display in its case - it only comes out for the most important occasions and the most important guests.”
“We were given a Damascus steel knife as a wedding gift which we used to cut the wedding cake. It was such an amazing and very special and unique gift. The knife is beautifully crafted and a work of art that we will treasure.”
“The kitchen knife is a work of art; a superb example of quality craftmanship. And it's sharp too!”
