Knife of the Year 2026
The "Knife of the Year" is a sought after knife award in the German speaking part of Europe, and winning it has been a secret dream of mine ever since I started as a knife maker. I never imagined that this dream would come true in 2026 - but it did. Last year, the German company Linder started producing my Shard design as a production knife. The award came pretty much out of the blue, decided on by popular vote of the readers of the German Blade magazine.
I would like to thank Linder for bringing this project to fruition, and the readers of the German Blade Magazine for voting for my design. The custom version of the knife is linked below.
