About the Maker
CarlMichael Handmade Knives
I was born in Ethiopia in 1963, where my parents were missionaries. In 1976 my family returned to Sweden to a village called Mellansel - a railroad community just 35 km from "Foppaland", (where Peter Forsberg was born) Örnsköldsvik. I crafted my first knife at the age of 15 while still at school, but it was after University that i became more serious about his craft. Many year i lived in Northern Sweden in a small village called Lövånger whit my first wife until she past away in breast cancer 2008. Sense 2010 i live in Gävle, two hours upside Stockholm whit my new wife Pia. My profession is a school counselor, but my free time is devoted to crafts and outdoor life. In my knives i use traditional Swedish materials such as curly birch, reindeer horn, and mammoth ivory. My knives are very influenced by Sami culture, the native peoples of Scandinavia. I makes my own sheaths and embosses them with a lion and a cM. The Lion symbolizes my childhood in Ethiopia. As i say, "The lion's courage is undisputed, and inspires me to 'dare to win' when crafting my knives." I has been featured in Excalibur, France's primier knife publication.
