Josh Wisor Knives
Handmade Functional Art
My name is Josh Wisor, I am custom knife maker in Port Republic, Virginia. Growing up, I have always enjoyed art and making things with my hands. A few years ago I had an interest to start a new hobby that could incorporate both of those interests. So I was naturally drawn to Bladesmithing. The more I learned and the further I dug in the more my interest grew. Over time, that hobby has naturally progressed into a passion where it exponentially expanded the different techniques and skills that I could try and learn. Since then I have focused on creating fully functional art pieces while continually trying to improve on my work with each new project.
