Paul Lusk
Professional Knife Maker and Teacher


My name is Paul Lusk. I am a full-time knife maker and founder of KnifeMakingVideos.com and PaulLuskKnives.com. My work has appeared in Blade Magazine, Knife World, Knives Illustrated, and The World's Greatest Book of Knives, and I want to teach how to do this!

When I started making knives, I was clueless. I didn't know what equipment to get. I didn't know if my technique was good or bad. Basically, I was lost. Over the years, I found my way.

I created this site so you wouldn't have to go through as many struggles as I did. There's enough of that in life, and having a helping hand in this craft is definitely something you need.

Knife Making Videos is my way of making knife making training and business guidance available to you without the hassles of searching all over the internet or trying to find someone willing to show you how to make a knife.

Please feel free to ask any questions by emailing me [email protected].

WARNING: Making knives is a very dangerous activity. Please use proper safety equipment and common sense. Neither knifemakingvideos.com, nor its affiliates, are responsible for any accidents, mishaps, injuries, or health issues. You are assuming all risks and responsibilities by entering this site.
