Hey everyone,
I'm Chris of Teddy's knives based in Surrey.
I was a long term member of British blades back in the day and I'm now in edge matters as well as here.
A bit about me - I used to be a police officer but it nearly destroyed my head - I started making knives and metal detecting as a way of taking my mind off work.
In 2022 I resigned and officially went full time knife maker - eventually the business has evolved into me teaching experience days where myself and students make culinary knives.
Anyway, I only really make culinary knives but I have been into knives since my grandad gave me a small sheath knives when I was in the cubs - around 30 years ago and I've never been without a collection of knives and one in my pocket where allowed since!
I'm sure I met some of you again the last sharp show and I'm sure a lot of you were on British blades and may still be on edge matters.
I am a big supporter of trying to help new makers so if I can help any budding hobbyists with the heat treat of simple carbon steels please reach out, as long as postage is covered both ways I am regularly running heat treats and happy to help!
Kind regards to all and happy new year
