Tapio Syrjala
I made my first knife in 2014. At first, I started making traditional Finnish Puukko Knives, and soon it changed from a hobby to making them almost the entire day. I have been making all kinds of knives during my knifemaking journey, from Puukko's to Loveless style full integrals and lately, most of my full handmade custom knives have been folding knives, which I started to make first in 2017. I had my Master Bladesmith (Puukkoseppamestari) degree accepted by Finnish National Agency for Education (EDUFI) in 2018. I am also forging my own stainless Damascus and Titanium Mokume, and we will make some one-offs with those materials with Hog House Knives.

I have always been building and fixing things, but it wasn't until 2010 that I started seeing myself as a craftsman. After my service in the Finnish army, I got into the college of crafts and design and studied there to become a metal artisan. Instantly I knew it was something I was meant to do and it engrossed me entirely. The school allowed me to learn the basics of blacksmithing, machining, and casting metal. I had the freedom to try new techniques and guidance from the teachers when needed. Really soon my focus shifted towards knifemaking, and I started making kitchen knives and traditional Puukko knives, quickly I started to experiment with Damascus steel and mokume-gane. Those materials gave me the inspiration to start making jewelry too and after my graduation, I went to another school and became a goldsmith too.
