More About This Maker

David Lisch - Washington

Continually pushing boundaries and innovating in the realms of bladesmithing, damascus making, and other areas of artistic metalwork and object design, ABS Master Bladesmith David Lisch forges sole-authorship chef knives and other culinary objects at his studio in Yelm, Washington. Partnering with knifemaker and artist Jayden Simisky was as natural for David as crafting the knife itself. While the knife featured here was made solely by Mr Lisch, it is a collaboration knife because the fundamental design is the brainchild of Jayden, and it was alongside Jayden, at the same time that he was building his own piece based on the design, that this knife was created.
