Sliwkosky  Knives

Sliwkosky Knives: Jakub Sliwka is a Polish knifemaker who has been dealing with knifemaking for over 10 years. Since 2018, he has been creating knives professionally.

The adventure with knifemaking in his case began quite early, and it came first from the technical talent and need for DIY noticed in his youth, and secondly from the interest in the knife industry at some point in his life. The combination of these two elements laid the foundations for the project later called Sliwkosky Knives, which is an obvious link to the name of the knife maker (sliwka = plum). Before this happened, however, several years had passed, devoted to acquiring knowledge, polishing skills in the field of knifemaking and annual participation in industry events constituting a kind of forum for the exchange of experiences. Along the way, Jakub Sliwka also graduated from engineering studies, although in a different field, less related to the knife industry, but providing a solid dose of knowledge about the knowledge of various technical processes, planning, etc.

Coming back to Sliwkosky Knives, it should be added that in the case of Jakub Sliwka, this name and the shape of the plum fruit, visible in the logo design developed over time, became a harbinger of noticeable individualism, a sign imprinted in each of his projects, both more original and inspired by designs characteristic of different countries and cultures.

These traces can be clearly seen, for example, in one of his more famous projects with the familiar sounding name of Mora Custom, which is an individual creation that draws inspiration from popular Swedish knives. They are also noticeable in the projects Urban Bowie, Modern Puukko, Kukri or Kwaiken. As you can see, very diverse inspirations rubbing against the Scandinavian countries, the Far East or America. Seemingly distant, however, in the performances of Sliwkosky Knives, we will definitely find common details common to Jakub Sliwka.
