Knifemaker

&

Owner of

Mann Made Knives

The custom knife community, as you have all probabally noticed by now, is growing at a rapid rate, every day.  The Internet, among many other newly available resources, has enabled collectors around the world, both new and old, to join in this phenomenon without even leaving there homes!  As such, these collectors become further educated on what to look for in a superb knife on a daily basis.  As a result, the demand for knives that combine aesthetic value with high performance qualities has risen dramatically.  Many are no longer happy with a knife that either "looks pretty" or "works well".  Collectors, including myself, want both.  They want the biggest possible bang for their buck - and I cannot possibly disagree! And so, considering all of the above, it is a great pleasure for me to be able to introduce to you our newest featured knifemaker on KnifeMakers Database.com, Craig Mann of Mann Made Knives!

	What do you think of this Featured Maker Profile? Excellent! great pretty good not bad needs some help

Who do you think should be the next featured knifemaker?

Craig Mann makes knives of many different styles, suitable for many different purposes - My personal favorites are his blades constructed with the Japanese tradition in mind.  Craig takes things a step further and adds his own personal touch such as the gorgeous filework on the tsuba of this knife, dubbed "Samini".  The photogrpahs were taken by his wife, Amy, who holds the same standards to her photography as Craig does to his knifemaking. Outstanding!

Knifemaker Craig Mann, owner of Mann Made Knives, makes extreme performance blades that are more than suitable for use in any terain on earth...

Craig and Amy Mann are simply a team without compare.  Each plays their own part in making Mann Made Knives as much of a success as it can possibly be!  Amy's diligence in handling all of the photography, as well as many of the business aspects of the operation, allows Craig to concentrate on what Mann Made Knives could not do without - knifemaking!  Most of the communications I establish with this outstanding knifemaking team are handled by Amy while the knives I receive from Craig, well... I wouldn't change a thing!  My absolute best wishes to the continuing success of Mann Made Knives!
