From Martin Huber:

I founded Messerschmied Huber in December 2016 and have paid attention to quality and customer satisfaction from the very beginning.

I learned to be a blacksmith and metal sculptor at the HTL Steyr. I come from a family of blacksmiths and of course I want to continue this tradition. But unlike everyone else, I've always been interested in the hot stuff. Knives, axes and the like have always been of interest to me. After many years of knife making and many trials, I can claim to be able to produce top quality knives that do an excellent job and are also a sight to behold!
