MT Custom Knives (Michel Timmermans)

Michel Timmermans, a Dutch knife maker from Brunssum, Limburg, discovered his passion for knife making after a career as a plumber. With a background in mechanical engineering, he started more than eight years ago with simple tools but quickly invested in better equipment. Michel has refined his craftsmanship by experimenting with various materials, such as rag micarta from military gear and vintage bakelite. He strives to create knives that are not only beautiful but also perform excellently. From his workshop in the basement of his hotel, he creates unique knives. His pursuit of authenticity, quality, and uniqueness has earned him a loyal clientele, mainly in America, where handmade knives are highly valued.
