Knife knowledge Sharing: Jim Ince

This knife is handcrafted by Jim Ince, a renowned master of the American Knifemakers’ Guild (AKI). It’s a one-of-a-kind piece, truly unique. Jim started making knives in 1976. He was also a master goldsmith and a master engraver. He had a mentor-protégé relationship with Buster Warenski, who is known as the father of modern art knives in the United States. Sadly, Jim passed away in 2010. Jim’s works were magnificent and exquisitely crafted. He won numerous awards and dedicated all his energy to combining modern art knives with jewelry. This particular piece features Damascus steel with cloud patterns, a handle made of jade, and a lion engraved with 24-karat gold.
