Andy Martland - BRILLIANT British custom knifemaker - I'd never heard of

**Chui** · 25-06-12, 04:51 PM

I was surprised, and delighted, to see some knifemakers I'd never heard of before at Knives-UK.

This humble fella's knives were very nice indeed - in fact, flippin gorgeous.

Andy confessed to 'not being very good with a computer', an affliction that possesses many a gifted maker it seems

So, here's a few of his wares. Apologies for the quality, but my iPhone is no Nikon..........

Andy can be contacted at ajmartland (@) hotmail.com

Well, if I am going to carry a big lens like that, I may as well take the whole DSLR

I saw Andy at the Midland but forgot to pic up a card, does anyone have current contact details/number for him.
The email link shown isn't working for me.
Thanks

Stupid question maybe but I'm assuming you did take the spaces and brackets out of the email address.

Great looking knives, and in stainless too.

I have used it in the past succesfully.

Cheers,

Trevor.

Yea did that but no luck maybe it's because I'm using a mob!

I cannot recall exactly, but they were reasonable.

Had a chat with Andy at the show, he's a great guy. All these knifemakers are lovely approachable fellas - drop him an email, get in touch, have a bit of to-and-fro - learn about what he does, the materials etc...........and if you do end up buying, it's a win-win

I got some prices from him a while back and they were mostly £125 - £150, which I thought was pretty reasonable for good quality handmade knives. Most were in 12c27 and some 154CM.
