Dikristo Photo Gallery- An introduction!

Sorry for the late intro, but this is the formal one! Everything runs so fast the last days and I just can’t keep up!

So, some info and pictures of my work!!!

I am Dikristo from Athens, Greece and I love to make beautiful knives and kitchenware in general. I really do not recall the day that I decided to “try and make a knife”, but it was for sure on an instant! From one day to another. Unfortunately, knifemaking is not as easy as it seems and here we are, in 2017, still trying to make the best knives I can.

“Top of mind” priority is to make everything in high quality, functional, beautiful and unique! I am just constantly looking in ways to improve my handmade creations and fulfill my knife ideas. I try not to keep a very specific style (mainly because I find it boring) despite the fact that is easier and better for the long term business.

So, kitchen knives are the biggest part of my work but also I occasionally make EDC/hunting/art knives, leather sheaths and knife racks, just because…ideas!

I try design my own profiles and prefer using the best Stainless Steels because they are … just better for these kind of knives. Specific Damascus, San mai etc steels are also in my future options! I free grind and I prefer full flat or combined grinds (concave/flat or hollow/flat-“S” grind). Every knife comes with papers, leather roll or wooden (oak) box depending on the series.

Finally, to spice things up, every knife has its own unique name chosen from Greek mythology, which is has some quite fascinating stories about…everything, so each name/knife has a story to tell!


That’s for now, I will post some pics to see my work, feel free to ask- almost- anything !

For those who are social media fans, you can find me on www.facebook.com/dikristo and on www.instagram.com/dikristo_knives also!
