Building Better Blades and Boards, With You
About Me
My name is Ryan Goodman. I live in Utah, and I am an apprentice bladesmith and woodworker. I make every part of my knives by hand. I forge and heat treat the blades, shape and fit the handles, and finish each piece myself. I also build cutting boards and knife blocks.
I work full-time as a software engineer and am also pursuing my PhD in computer science part-time. Knife making and woodworking are other sides of my life where I can focus on building something tangible with my hands. It is a process of steady learning and improvement, and every piece I make reflects that growth.
I started this company so others can be part of that journey. My goal is not only to create tools for the kitchen, but also to let people follow along as I progress from apprentice work to journeyman, to master, and eventually to fully custom pieces. Each knife, board, or block is a step in that path, and I want the people who use them to share in that story.
