I have started to work with different type of stones ca 25 years ago. In the
beginning I was searching for ore and succeeded to win several prices in national
competitions in Finland. Still I am walking in nature and wilderness searching for
different type of stones, but mainly for gemstones and jewellery.
Cutting and refining of stones is very challenging and patiency needing work.
I have won 1st price in national competition in 2003 and 2005 (stone forming
and refining).
Manufacturing of knives, I have started ca. 10 years ago. First of all I made
hafts from stone, nowadays about few years I have started to use smoother
materials like wood, bone and some other materials from nature. I am searching
for the more and more unique materials to work with.
All my products are handmade, unique.

national competition (knife manufacturing, open group) and 3rd price in
