Welcome to Blade University, your premier online destination for mastering the art of knife making. Founded by Matthew Longley, a passionate knife maker and enthusiast with over a decade of experience, our mission is simple: to make the journey into knife making accessible, informative, and inspiring for enthusiasts and professionals alike.

Matthew's journey into the world of knife making was fueled by a deep-seated passion for craftsmanship and the artistry behind creating exceptional blades. However, he quickly realized that the path to mastering this craft was fraught with challenges, especially when walking it alone. The lack of comprehensive, structured, and easily accessible resources made the learning curve steep and, at times, daunting.

Driven by a desire to transform this landscape and foster a community of like-minded individuals, Matthew established Blade University. This platform is not just a repository of information; it's a gateway to a world where the best knife makers come together to share their knowledge, skills, and passion. Through a curated selection of video content created by some of the most renowned artisans in the field, we aim to provide an in-depth, practical learning experience that covers every facet of knife making.

At Blade University, we believe in the power of sharing knowledge and the importance of community support in the pursuit of craftsmanship excellence. Whether you're a novice just starting out or an experienced maker looking to refine your skills, our platform is designed to provide you with the resources, inspiration, and guidance needed to excel in your craft.

Join us in our journey to demystify the art of knife making and bring the beauty of handcrafted knives to the forefront of the world. Welcome to Blade University – where bladesmiths are born, and craftsmanship thrives.
