Ukrainian masters

Every KOVAL FORGE blade leaves a single workshop. Meet the bladesmiths behind the steel.

Braslavskiy Knifes

Braslavskiy Knifes is a family atelier from Ukraine. Serhiy Braslavskyi is the bladesmith — he forges and finishes every knife. His wife, Olena Braslavska, is the artist of each piece: she creates the hand-tooled leather sheaths and their decorative artwork.
