About the Maker
Knight, Jason
Jason’s early knives were created through the stock removal process. In 2001 he attended the Bill Moran School of Bladesmithing in Old Washington, Arkansas. Jason won Best New Maker at Blade Show West that same year. His work quickly became sought after because of his recognizable style. According to Jason, some of the most valuable input he ever received was from his friends George Herron and Daniel Winkler, both of whom encouraged him to always remain true to his own creative niche. In 2007 he received his ABS Mastersmith rating and was awarded the B.R. Hughes Award for the best knife by a Mastersmith candidate. He continues to receive awards for his extraordinary skill. Knight is well known among custom makers and collectors not only as an innovator, but also for his mastery of metallurgy and blade geometry.
Zieba, Michael
Michael Zieba first moved to the United States from Poland in 2005. His love for craftsmanship and industrial work began with helping his father with his furniture factory when he was only eleven years old. Michael taught himself industrial design and mechanics, as he worked various jobs in construction during his first five years in the United States. Now, a proud Brooklyn local, Michael is the owner of Zieba New York and is the first and only knifemaker in Brooklyn that is part of the Brooklyn Made Chamber of Commerce.
