Firstly, I would like to thank you for visiting my site and now reading my introduction.
My name is Péter Schneider, and I am a hobbyist bladesmith-knifemaker located in Hungary, Central Europe. This page is dedicated to introduce my works and journey in the craft, but in this section you can read some other things about me as well:
I am an energy engineer and I also obtained a masters degree in mechanical engineering in Budapest University of Technology and Economics.
I am thankful for lots of things I learned as a student, but one of them is the most important when it comes to making knives: the passion for steel. Reading this it may be obvious that I started making knives parallel to my studies, 5 years ago. My interest to engineering sciences have brought me some other competences like the love of welding, and designing/fabricating machines. Fortunately, there are countless occasions to do these things, if you build and maintain your own workshop. I really think that there is no better pairing than profiting in your hobby from those things you learned and got love into with in your studies.
