Bona Knives – The Art Of Harmony

The Art Of Harmony in knives

Marcin Bona has been dealing with professional knifemaking since 2004. In his case, his childhood passion turned into a way of life. He made his first knife at the age of 12 and has been perfecting his workshop since then.

In his projects we will find dimensional, material and conceptual harmony. The “soulful” designs are full of references to the old way of life (eg models: Frontier, Copperfield), references to pop culture (eg Diuna knife, Assassin knife) as well as legends and beliefs (eg Leszy, Nemesis, Wilk). The individual models, by their style of workmanship, type of grind, finish and materials used, perfectly reflect the connection with the name and the inspiration that follows it. In his achievements, Bona Knives has knife models with unique types of cut, which are rare on a global scale (models: Assassin, Diuna).

Bona Knives and materials

Marcin Bona uses steels that are easy to sharpen in the field (NCV1, NC6, D2) for the implementation of his projects. The handles are made of various materials: antlers, wood, stabilized wood, micarta and are enriched with accessories made of steel, brass, leather and other elements. Knife sheaths are made of natural leather, often hand-textured and decorated with individual accessories. An old, cracked nail, almost broken by time, from an old family trunk inherited from ancestors, can gain a new life in the hands of Bona and give a unique character to another knife project.

By becoming the owner of one of the Bona Knives, we become part of the community of users of a kind of talisman with whom we can feel a bond and attachment for many years.

Bona Knives Frontier Smooth Antler

Bona Knives Frontier Smooth Antler is one of the most popular projects carried out in the workshop of Marcin Bona. Frontier is a knife bordering on reality and imagination. On the one hand, it is a tangible, great utility tool that can be sharpened on a roadside stone if needed. On the other hand, it is a talisman that will take us into the world of imagination, childhood memories filled with playing trappers and adventurers. And it is really hard to resist the impression that Frontier was "brought alive" from the border, where just a moment ago he was helping his owner in the hardships of survival. Frontier knives are made of steel that can be easily sharpened in the field (NCV1), which goes back to the past of cutlery and the art of using knives. The blades have a variety of fancy finishes and patterns. Each of them is unique and one of a kind. In the knifemaker's dictionary, this type of finish is referred to as "chaotic satin coated with random oxidation". These treatments and amphibian roughness are performed in an original way by a knifemaker. The handles are mainly made of deer antlers dyed by the creator and have a leather wrapping prepared by a knifemeker in a way that guarantees resistance to weather conditions. Sheaths made of natural vegetable tanned leather (cowhide and deer chamois) have a variety of colors and accessories individually selected for each project by the creator. The Frontier is a knife that appears to have many irregularities at first glance, but is in fact planned in every unevenness and roughness from start to finish by the creator.
