Founded by two Royal Engineers.

We’re precision engineers who happen to make knives — accuracy, craftsmanship and uncompromising attention to detail, transformed into functional works of art. Every piece is a future antique: designed for a reason, then yours to add a story to.

Founded in 2012 by former Royal Engineers Dean Boyd and Joel Andreas, Emberleaf was born from a shared obsession with edged tools and an unwillingness to compromise. What began as a passion project has grown into one of the UK’s most respected custom knife workshops.

Featured in Sporting Rifle, Shooting Times & Country Magazine, BDS Journal and Shooting Sports.
