Craftsmanship Made Personal

MFN Handmade Knives is an artisan knife maker forge based in Assisi, Handcrafted in Assisi — Forged with Intention
I’m Malvin Francesco Nathanael — a craftsman, bladesmith, and knife enthusiast based in the wild nature close to Assisi, Italy. What started as a fascination for steel, fire, and art turned into a deep passion for forging knives that carry meaning.

Each blade I make is shaped by hand, using carefully selected materials — often wood I’ve dried myself — and finished with the goal of creating not just a tool, but a personal companion for the kitchen or the outdoors.
Whether you’re looking for a unique piece for daily use, a one-of-a-kind gift, or your dream knife made just for you — you’re in the right place. This is where craftsmanship meets story, and every knife begins with yours.
