NOMAD Knife & Tool

Couple shots from open mat this morning

Thanks to everyone that purchased a knife, took part in a raffle, referred a friend my way, reposted something in their story, reached out about an event… the list goes on and on. 2025 was a really tough year for anyone trying to maintain a small business, but somehow it ended up being the most successful and rewarding year too date.

This little side hustle is what I use to fund pretty much any vacation, holiday, birthday or special adventure for myself and my girls. It means the world to me, so to everyone out there that has contributed in any way at all, Thank You! ❤️

See you in 2026 ✌️🐸

Last time to snag something before the end of the year!
Catch me and on SUNDAY THE 21ST FROM 12-4

I’ll probably still be wearing this. I’ll give you a deal if I am and you call me out on it ✌️🐸

Couple of winners (PIKKUKARHU in Opal and UFF DA in Natural) still available in time for the holidays. My website is updated and last shipping of the year happens on Friday the 19th, so get your orders in by then!

I’ll also be on SUNDAY the 21st from 12-4

COFFEE SCOOPS in Titanium and Copper.
Hand formed and hammered by yours truly.
Available in my website or on Sunday 12/21 from noon-4!

The last of my holiday batch is sharpened and sheathed. The biggest I’ve completed in my 12 years of making knives. Maybe imposter syndrome will go away one of these days?

See y’all tomorrow and Saturday 12/21

Time to eat cookies and watch Stranger Things with my kids. ✌️🐸

Handful of MANDRILLS!
Want to get a handmade knife or gift one to somebody, but you’re on a budget? I have the solution!

A very capable and versatile tool, the MANDRILL is what I carry every day. Light, thin, discrete, sharp, slightly primitive yet refined. Great for a your pocket or as a back up. Keep one packed with your camping gear, on your bike or in your car. Impress everyone while you breakdown boxes at work.

I’ll have lots at
THIS SUNDAY 12/7
&
on 12/21

Hope to see you! ✌️🐸

Greetings from my shop.
Every few months engagement drops significantly until a face shows up, but we know this right? So here we are!

For the new folks in the back. I’m Bryan. I make knives (very) part time. I live in Milwaukee with my 3 incredible daughters (16 & twins 12) and work as the Director of Health, Safety and Security at . When I’m not working or making knives I like to ride bikes, workout, get submitted by 25 year olds , golf, talk s**t, bake, and play guitar in an AC/DC cover band called Big Balls (come see us on December 13th ).

Do you like knives? Do you want one? Do you want to gift one but don’t know s**t about em? I like talking to people. Ask me stuff. Can’t really afford one, but make or sell something I might be into? I love trades! Bartering rules. Reach out!

See you soon
Sunday December 7th
Saturday December 21st
OR
Saturday December 13th (no knives, just Big Balls)

First time in a gym since Covid times. Repped my Deadlift 1RM from 2021 for 3 twice. Getting older and stronger rules. Big thanks to kettlebells and for that 😘

First step in utilizing everything I learned in the CNC For Knifemaking courses I beta tested for . Thanks to Jordan for the mock up w/ 3d printed scales (on the right). On the left is the first handmade version of this blade design that I used to model the CNC version.

I will be changing a lot in regard to how I operate next year in the hopes of more consistency, less reliance on the internet and social media and most importantly a healthier, more efficient and less wasteful process.

Thanks to everyone who is still seeing these posts and supporting me, I’m looking forward to picking your brains a bit as changes are implemented! If you haven’t already, now is a really good time to sign up for my emails. Starting next year, new releases and frankly any pictures of knives will not be found on IG.
