About Harstad Knives
We are a small and local workshop based in Harstad, Norway – above the Arctic Circle.
Creating sharp tools and working with leather is more than just a job to us. It's a passion and a constant strive for perfection.
Our love for the craft is something we want everyone to feel and to appreciate when picking up and using one of our handmade products.
Meet the Maker
Ever since I can remember I´ve been drawn to the outdoors. Hiking in the mountains, fishing by the shore, camping in the wild and any other activity as long as it included a campfire.
Being outdoors, I have always had a great interest in knives and related leather products, which is probably why I started making my own tools - together with my dad - at a very young age.
That passion has continued growing through the years, up until the point where I decided to take a leap and make my passion to more than just a hobby.
Creating tools and leather products, custom made to the needs of customers, is always a very fun, unique and sometimes challenging process - which is exactly the reasons I chose to do what I do.
