Ever side quest so hard you wind up in a totally different discipline and side quest THAT so hard you wind up back in your own discipline with a new focus? That’s happened to me over the past two years going from knifemaking, into mandolin music then into a custom built octave mandolin by Hamm-tone Guitar Making School and then into learning how to turn Timascus and now Damasteel to make swanky new k***s for electric instruments and now back to knifemaking. Sweet assed pics of my latest offerings by Todd Bolce Knives . Thanks to Maritime Knife Supply and Gator P**s ™️ for answering my etching questions on the fly this summer while elbows deep in the acid. These all fit a Fender potentiometer and some will be for sale. Never to be repeated, DM me for inquiries S a i r a 🏝️ Muskoka North Studio Tour Coles Art Market Matt Coles Algonquin Art Centre

My neighbor and fellow knife making nerd Peter Tal has sent down this gorgeous Stainless slicer to Costa Rica for testing over the next 5 yrs. Its got a nice long Yanagiba (willow leaf) inspired blade. Solid Micarta handle with G10 spacers. It will undergo exposure to salt air environment, sand and renters. Lets see how it holds up! You can catch Peter out front of St Lawrence market in Toronto on the weekends selling his knives. Support local artists so we can support you in your culinary journey❤️ S a i r a 🏝️ St. Lawrence Market Samantha Gilsoul Phoebe Wong🌸

Chef carefully breaking down a huge tuna spearfished off the coast of Quepos, Costa Rica. He’s using a tuna sword designed and built by me. Im thrilled when my work gets into the hands of chefs that work to make meals special for people. Mostly my knives land in Nosara and stay there with my chef friends, and this is great to see it being used waaaaay down the coast with one of my freediving schools. .freediver .ess_kay .gomez.96 Special thanks to Dan for capturing this and editing it 👍

I’ve spent this week at Loom Weaving School and Fibre Studio doing a weaving intensive on a Leclerc floor loom with the owner Johana.

Trying new disciplines as an artist means I’m stepping outside my primary medium to explore different creative processes. It pushes me to experiment, prevents creative stagnation, and broadens my technical skill set.

I love side quests because when I’m embracing unfamiliar tools and techniques, it unlocks fresh perspectives that enriches my core work in steel.

Terrific studio and even nicer people. A++ all around experience, I will be back in the fall for more. Coles Art Market Algonquin Art Centre Muskoka North Studio Tour S a i r a 🏝️ Rouge River Heritage Interiors Zoe Potter Salem Straub Peter Tal Wynn Stitt Oldboy Metal Co. Axcadmy Geoff George

Currently on my bench being prepped for a handle. This 4” petty knife is coming along beautifully. A mix of mosaic damascus pieces floating on a darker field of end cuts of hoisting cable that were forged into square bar. I’m getting to the point in my career where I can relax into new ideas and mashups of patterns. It will be ready for the Muskoka North Studio Tour on August 14-16 in and around Huntsville, Ontario.

BIG shout out to Mike at for whipping up this stunning mahogany amp case on wheels. My music corner was a real mess before with cords and wires everywhere. Now its tucked neat and tidy so I can concentrate on my Octave Mandolin without worrying about snagging my foot on a cord.
