Maker's bio

I have had a love affair with knives for a very long time, I have owned and used a multitude of knives ever since I was a small boy. I made my first knife while at school for my ‘O’ level metalwork project. I have been making knives on a semi professional basis since about 2000, and professional since early 2015. I forge my blades as well as stock removal, all of the knives I make are made in my own workshop, no one else is involved at any time in the production of one of my knives.

Andy Upson reviewed: Bladesmithing experience day

"Great welcome by a great bloke. Made to feel very comfortable. Workshop is a safe and easy place to work in. We did the one day knife making course. Loads of hands on work by us. Very happy and proud of the final product. Did I mention Steve is a top bloke. Thanks for a great day."

Steve reviewed: Bladesmithing experience day

"What an amazing day, did the 1 day bladesmithing course with my son, we both had a great day, Steve is an amazing teacher and has a great attention to detail, he wants you to have a blade you will be proud of and he definitely achieved that with us, my son and I have several knives in our collections but there is something special about a knife you make yourself, well with a lot of help and guidance from a master bladesmith, we would highly recommend going."

White Tiger Knives responded:

"Hi Steve Thank you very much for your review. It was a pleasure to host you and your son on the one day course with me. The blades that you made were rather special. I hope to meet you and Brian again at the Military Odyssey in August if you're both not too busy. Kind regards Steve Nowacki White Tiger Knives"

"Hi Steve, Thanks again for an amazing time at your workshop. From the beginning to the end you were a gracious host and even better teacher. I absolutely love the man-blade we created together and couldn’t recommend your course enough. Best wishes, Brad"

"Evening Brad Thank you very much for your review. It's very gratifying to help students experience the craft of bladesmithing in any way I can. I'm really pleased that you enjoyed your time in the shop with me and even happier that you love the man blade that you created. Kind regards Steve"

James reviewed: Bladesmithing experience day

"Excellent, just do it! Steve was interesting, funny and really knows his stuff. His passion for knife making draws you in and his never ending enthusiasm makes you want to make the best knife you can. Great day, excellent knife made and new interests and knowledge gained. 10 out of 10."

White Tiger Knives responded:

"Hi James What can I say, but thank you for your review. As you know after spending a day in the shop with me, I do love knives and I think their worth and place in todays society is unnecessarily maligned. Being able to make them as a professional maker and help others to experience this craft is extremely rewarding. I'm really pleased that you enjoyed your day so much with me and the knife you created was quite beautiful. Kind regards Steve"
