Bladesmith Murray Carter!
Murray Carter's knife journey began with a quest for knowledge in Japan, where he underwent a rigorous apprenticeship to master the intricacies of traditional blade crafting. Returning to the US, he sought to fulfill his lifelong dream of establishing his own Cutlery.
From his humble beginnings in Japan's Tabaruzaka Park to the sprawling landscapes of his Cutlery headquarters in Oregon, Carter's commitment to preserving and evolving the craft has blossomed.
This has resulted not in just a business, producing high quality Carter knives, but a vibrant community hub where aspiring artisans from around the world gather to unlock the secrets of Japanese knife-making, ensuring that the legacy of craftsmanship continues to thrive for generations to come.
