Bladesmith Matt Sicard's Bio in his own words...
"Hello there knife people…
I’m Matt Sicard (sea-card), a full-time Canadian bladesmith, specializing in creating value and performance based kitchen knives and everyday use cutlery.
Welcome to my online shop, featuring my handcrafted knives.

I love handles and have a tremendous range of materials at my disposal. Some handles are crafted for pure function. Others almost transform knives into art centerpieces or conversation starters for your kitchen or home.
Handle materials include: untreated and stabilized hardwoods, resin, hybrids, and stone.
While I mostly produce kitchen knives, I also enjoy forging camping & survival knives, daggers, and Japanese style blades.
** My books, for Custom Knife orders, are currently OPEN **
Please contact me with your custom knife ideas so we can work together to turn them into highly functional & sharp blades!
Thanks for browsing my work which is my passion."
