David Wolke - Austria

The grandson of artists on both his father's and mother's side, David Wolkerstorfer was surrounded by craft of various mediums since childhood when he himself began the creative journey. At 12 David was making knives, and at 14 he was forging with fire and hammer. Today David wear’s the titles of artist, jeweler, bladesmith, and all-around metal mover. A founder of the groundbreaking Gold Vein Culinary project, inventor of the SpaceEgg, an officially recognized precious metals artisan in Austria, and maker of sole-authorship handmade chef knives, David’s work continually inspires.
