My name is Petr Dohnal
I have 45 years old and I live in a smaller town Trebic, Czech Republic.
I graduated from high school and then did various jobs. For a long time I was a computer graphic designer.
We started making knives with my older son (Petr) in about 2002.
The son had studied art blacksmithing school and it started me very interested.
Today is 27 years old son.
Slowly we all learn and for two years we won the competition at the Great Exhibition in Czech Republic - Knife of Pribram 2004. It was a knife with a blade made of Damask sandwiches.
We went to various cutlery exhibitions throughout Europe. France, Germany, Sweden, Hungary, Slovakia ... Our damascus kukri was on the cover of French magazine Excalibur.
We have rented various parts, and in 2007 we bought a large building in a town near our residence Jaromerice Rokytnou.
Prior to join us younger son Michael (20 years old). Did not find a job after high school graphic, and so learned to sew Cases Knife and working with us.
All work on knives we do ourselves.
We do not only fixed blades, knives favorite for tourists, hunters, campers, oudoor ...
Most often we damask knives, blades often use parcial hardening.
We work with stainless steel - only recently Elmax - Swedish powder steel.
I hope you will like our knives, and Gallery visit our website
