About me

Hi, I'm Marko Buisman, the creative force behind Buisman Blades.

Knives are not just tools; they are a journey through history, embodying boldness, craftsmanship and cultural heritage. From ancient times, where they were indispensable for hunting, survival and rituals, to symbols of everyday life.

My fascination with knives began early and developed from collecting pocket knives to a passion for craftsmanship. As a 3D designer and graphic designer, I worked for years at a screen to create digital beauty. But the urge to create something tangible became irresistible.

So I ventured into the world of knife making, delving into books, blogs and countless YouTube videos to learn the skills. By combining my 3D design background with hands-on craftsmanship, I aim to create knives that are not only visually appealing, but also highly functional in use.

Each knife is more than a tool; it is a story of my development, with a piece of history destined to last for generations. I am constantly pushing my boundaries, experimenting with techniques, materials and designs, aiming to fuse the legacy of history with my unique vision and modern expertise. Join me on this journey, where each knife tells a story of innovation, skill and enduring craftsmanship.
