Concombre

The skills I learned by watching my father’s back remain unchanged to this day.

The reason I chose this path as a craftsman traces back to my childhood, watching my father work. The sound of the hammer echoing in the small workshop, his focused expression, and the satisfied look on his face when a blade was complete—each of these memories is etched vividly in my heart.

What my father taught me wasn’t just technique. He showed me what it means to do good work—dedication, the care infused into every tool, and the importance of crafting with the end user in mind. These lessons weren’t taught with words but through the quiet strength of his actions.

Times have changed, and while some tools and processes have evolved, the foundational skills and mindset remain the same. This unchanging core is a testament to the enduring power of tradition—a tradition that continues to support and enrich people’s lives and culture even today.

The tools I craft today carry the spirit and techniques passed down from my father. Ensuring that this legacy flows into the next generation is not just a responsibility but a source of immense pride. While embracing change, I will continue to honor what remains timeless, crafting each piece with care and purpose.
