My name is Jordan LaMothe. I am a knife maker and blacksmith based in Hebron, NY, and I make a wide variety of cutting tools, from hunting knives to high-end kitchen knives to historically-inspired swords and daggers. I have been working with metal since 2009 and I started making knives full-time in 2017. I am a Master Smith in the American Bladesmith Society, a title I earned in June 2021. I teach knife making regularly at numerous craft schools around the country, and I have written articles for Blade Magazine and given lectures and demonstrations at knife-making and blacksmithing events.

I make knives because they are some of the most fundamental tools of humankind – tools that nearly every person on the planet uses on a regular basis. Making knives allows me to work in a variety of different media: steel, wood, leather, non-ferrous metals; and to apply all the specific working techniques those materials require to a final product that is both beautiful and useful and participates in the advancement of a craft that is as old as humanity itself.
