About Konstantinos & Nouko Forge

Konstantinos is a master bladesmith and designer originally from Greece, now forging his legacy in the heart of Bristol. At Nouko Forge, he combines centuries-old blacksmithing techniques with a modern eye for precision and performance, crafting bespoke hand-forged kitchen knives that are as beautiful as they are functional.

Driven by a deep love for quality craftsmanship and exceptional culinary tools, Konstantinos began his journey in bladesmithing as a self-taught artisan. Today, his knives are sought after by professional chefs, home cooks, and craft enthusiasts who value razor-sharp precision, durability, and the soul of the forge hammered into every blade.

Beyond creating knives, Konstantinos is passionate about keeping the art of blacksmithing alive. At his Bristol forge, he offers immersive knife-making courses, where chefs, hobbyist makers, and hands-on learners can step into the shoes of a blacksmith, forging their own knives under expert guidance.

When he's not at the anvil, Konstantinos can be found tending his allotment, cooking over fire, or spending time with his three young children and his loyal dog, Frieda. His connection to the land, food, and tools fuels his philosophy: the best knives aren’t just tools—they’re companions in the kitchen, forged with skill, passion, and purpose.
