我民國64年出生,對刀開始是國中時的瑞士刀.正式接單改刀是大約是20歲左右吧.改的是馬國森皮帶頭刀.於是栽入了改刀的行列了.之後又遇上了一位玩刀高手.透過他的介紹和提拔拿刀胚給我做柄.到目前為止,做刀已經歷經約十個年頭了,從以前的改刀及改柄到現在的全新製作,我還是一直再改寫我自己的做刀記錄.

Born in 75, my love affair with knife began as a little hobby while in junior high, my first real order came through at age of 20 and I still remember it was a modified belt-buckle knife. Later I met a “real” knife-maker who showed me how to select appropriate material for making knife handles…from modifying to design and making a complete knife took me more than 10 years of learning and still I am trying to self-improve all the time.

STEEL

鋼材部份,大部分使用440C,我也接受其他鋼材製作,但是必須是我能取得到的鋼材,並且可以熱處理到標準程度.

For the blade part, I use 440C mostly but I can also accept other steels on 2 conditions; Firstly I must be able to obtain the material easily and secondly it can be heat treated to certain standard.

HANDLE MATERIAL

我的作品中,最複雜的地方就是關於握柄部份,因為我接受各種材質的握柄製作,最常使用材料為: 壇木,鹿角.我經常花時間到台灣各地或是各進口商處去尋找適合做刀柄的材料,通常我尋找的材料都是該種類的頂級品,但是我希望以更親和的售價來讓大家擁有.

In my work, the most complicated area being the handle because I accept most material; the most common material being sandal wood, deer horn; I spend awful lot of time searching for an appropriate material for a particular design, I often aim for the top quality but nowadays also planning to use popular material to make my work more affordable.

LEATHER

我的作品大部分都是使用皮套,因為考慮到刀的整體造型及風格,因此不侷限使用牛皮為製作材料,但是不管使用何種材料,均會達到美觀及實用的標準.另外也接受KYDEX材料製作.

I use a lot of leather for sheath taking esthetic and style into consideration but by no mean limited to leather only. I sometimes also use KYDEX material for a change.
