Dervish Knives
John Gonzalez's interest in knives and swords began in adolescence, but it wasn’t until the late 1990’s when he discovered his passion for custom knives. Initially drawn to tactical pieces, his approach to knife making is largely inspired via the myriad of elegant and lethal designs from diverse cultures and eras. Due to John's background in graphic arts and illustration, designing knives has always been the easiest part of knife making for him. Aspiring to create aesthetically pleasing knives which excel in both form and function, he draws heavily on time-tested designs, geometries, and materials.
