About the Maker
Dervish Knives (John Gonzalez)
"My interest in knives and swords began in adolescence, but it wasn’t until the late 1990’s when I discovered my passion for custom knives. I was initially drawn to tactical pieces, but my approach to knife making is largely inspired via the myriad of elegant and lethal designs from diverse cultures and eras. Due to my background in graphic arts and illustration, designing knives has always been the easiest part of knife making for me. Aspiring to create aesthetically pleasing knives which excel in both form and function, I draw heavily on time-tested designs, geometries, and materials."
Gage, John
"My first experience in the metal trades began at age 13, when I studied machining in Eastman Kodaks' Machinist explorer program. The program was run by my dad, a machinist by trade. In my late 20s and early 30s, I further developed my skills, exploring blacksmithing and metal arts while working full time jobs in the metals machining and manufacturing trades. In 2003, I was offered a position at Albion Swords, in New Glarus, WI. There, I quickly learned the way of the medieval sword. Working at Albion was an amazing experience. I was surrounded by talented craftsmen and artisans, such as Peter Johnsson and Jody Samson. Shortly after my experience there, I started working out of my own shop. I began exploring new ways to bring raw materials to life in a way that advanced my journey as a craftsman. I strive to produce the highest quality hand made blades and jewelry."
