Far East Knifeco Founder / Designer

FEKC was founded in 2020 designing minimalist pocket knives inspired by vintage knives. I design small batches of knives in my workshop in Japan and working with a manufacturing partner in Taichung, Taiwan, the city known for its modern knife manufacturing. My aim is to create real-life functional blades that will never go out of style.
