Over the last 10 years a market of the custom and semi-custom knives developed very rapidly, and a technology was also modified. A traditional handwork began to give way CNC machines. Appeared a great deal of new knife makers, but really a few of them combined outstanding technical possibilities with an original design. While browsing various kinds websites dedicated to the custom knives I had an impression that many of them is made after one fashion – they have timeworn patterns and trivial design. So, the more it is enjoya- ble that we have in Poland a world-class knife mak- er who in his small workshop develops the highest quality knives, that can without any inferiority com- plexes compete with works of the greatest creators in this industry. Most importantly, at the same time he consequently preserves a characteristic design, which distinguishes his projects among thousands of the custom knives which are available now. About which knives it is about? Certainly, those signed by the Poltergeist Work. Although, at the beginning I mentioned about their rather common usage of the CNC machines, even by the custom knife makers, in the case of the Poltergeist Works it is quite different. While looking at the photos, maybe it is hard to believe that each new knife is made in 100 percent using the machines manually con- trolled by one person – Jakub Wieczorkiewicz. I know it, because I could see it with my own eyes. A main axis and screws for assembling a clips are the only el- ements which are made outside the Poltergeist Woks workshop. The axis – due to a required accuracy of three-hundredths of millimeter what is unachievable www.fragoutmag.com
