"Tim Bakonyi grew up in a small town in Alberta, Canada, where the rugged terrain of the Rocky Mountains served as his childhood playground. His passion for the outdoors sparked a love of knives from a young age. As Tim grew, his interest in blades grew with him, and his tastes became more refined with experience leading him to purchase more expensive knives to combat a growing dissatisfaction with quality, materials, and features. This growing disdain and dissatisfaction for mass produced knives led Tim to explore and study blade design and modification techniques, which he applied to his growing collection. It is this passion and drive that led Tim to fully apply himself, learning the ins and outs of blade-smithing, networking with industry contacts, and building Trouble Bladeworks from the ground up."
