About us

My name is Julius, and I’ve been a knife enthusiast since my early twenties. It all started when I came across an ad on eBay for knife blades. I had never considered making my own knives before, but I ordered a blade, crafted my first knife—and was instantly hooked.

Scandinavian knives have always been my favorite: simple, practical designs with deep historical roots. That’s why I chose the name Nordic Edge Sweden—a reflection of the style I love and the heritage I want to honor.

I grew up working in my family’s businesses, learning craftsmanship from my father’s and brother’s cobbler stores then opened up a tailor alterations shop. Working with metal, rubber, wood, and leather became second nature to me, so knife making felt like a natural extension of those skills.

Later, I developed a passion for mycology and mushroom foraging. I wanted to create mushroom knives for myself, my family, and friends, but couldn’t find suitable blades anywhere. So, drawing from my own foraging experience, I designed three blades optimized for different types of mushrooms: Skalman 62, Mycel 64, and Svamplius 90.

When I shared them on forums, my inbox was flooded with interest. I suddenly found myself trying to meet demand—and realized this was what I truly wanted to do. Designing and crafting new knives quickly became an addictive passion.

There’s nothing quite like using your own handmade knife when camping, foraging, or fishing—relying on something born from your own craftsmanship.
