Sublime folders from UK maker - Geoff Hague

Chui · Jul 1, 2013

.

I have been aware of Geoff's work for some time and as serendipity had it, managed a visit to see him along with Steven Lewis of SABlade on our way to have dinner with Grace Horne & Guy Stainthorp on the eve of Knives UK.

Just a little background - Geoff had some advice and mentoring from Howard Hitchmough many, many moons ago - and has developed his own stunning skills and wonderful pieces.

Tucked away in part of a cosy countryside workshop.............

...........Geoff works away on his masterpieces.

Steven has just come back from Blade and knows his knifey-onions more than anyone I know, and after rustling through some folder patterns, immediately placed an order.........

You can understand all this having handled six of Geoff's latest wee gems. My photos show little, but I have personally never seen a better folder from UK...

- and apart from the liner locks, these are UK street legal slippies

- added to all of this, Geoff is an utter gentleman, and I look forward to a return visit one day to pick up my order

Hi Nullity - no, Geoff buys it in and I believe one good source for him is Barmond in Sheffield, UK.

All sorted.

That can't be England, the sun is shining.

Love the look of the workshop exterior with the exposed brickwork and the little flower pot.

Oh, yeah... and awesome knives!
