I reached out to Alban for a custom order of multiple knives. He was available, caring and all around great to work with. Oh and I’m in canada and got the knives ahead of schedule. You can tell his passion is contagious and he does not shy away from a challenge. He offered me options from metal to usability and walked me through my own needs based on the context I gave him. I knew craftsmanship had a cost and having unique pieces doesn’t come for free but I really wanted good knives and his did not disappoint. I’m already working on my next order. He has proved through his work and expositions that he is here to stay and is no doubt already making his mark in the knife making industry. I cannot wait to see what you come up with next Alban!
