Andersson, Michael

Michael Andersson is a custom knifemaker from the north of Sweden creating art from scratch in his own shop. He specialize in large knives and pattern welded steel. His love of knives has been deep since childhood but developed significantly when he and his son took a knifemaking class lead by Roger Bergh. That learning experience developed into a long-term friendship and strong mentor/student relationship. He credits Bergh for his excellent advice and wide knowledge. Andersson's knives feature wonderful hand forged damascus and one-of-a-kind design. He especially enjoys making big knives in a style influenced by the American Bowie knife. His sole authored knives feature wonderful fossil mammoth ivory, hand stitched sheaths and exotic hard woods.
