Jayden Simisky

Jayden Simisky aka "The Slacksmith" is a talented young blacksmith based out of Louisville Colorado. Jayden began metalworking at a very young age and now has a decade of knifemaking under his belt.

From complex, house-made damascus patterns, to one-piece, all-steel builds, and multi-faceted design approaches that use innovative techniques which accomplish both aesthetic and functional goals, Jayden’s work has all the hallmarks of a talented and passionate artisan. The chef knife, for Jayden, is a blank canvas. One with limitless artistic opportunities, while guaranteed to deliver function to its owner at the same time. From overall design, to material selection, and the countless approaches to each blade’s creation, the chef’s knife is the “perfect platform to make a function-driven piece of art” as Jayden puts it.
