Testimonials & press
A selection of notes from owners, stalkers and collectors. Some of the press dates back — they make for good reading all the same.
The most beautiful knife I have ever held — a treasured family heirloom. My extended-handled desert ironwood Bran has held its edge for years from gentle stropping alone. As a deer stalker all my kit is in continuous use and must earn its keep. These knives are no exception.

The Raven is a beautifully handmade knife — balanced, sharp, a pleasure to use. It will last me a lifetime.

First-class service and a first-class product. I own several. Designed to work for you, not against you. They exceeded my expectations on timescale and turnaround due to my own poor planning.
C. Horner I waited two years for the right handle material. Spent nearly an hour on the phone with Dean — his passion and technical knowledge were remarkable. The knife arrived in under 24 hours and surpassed my already high expectations. A quality product, with service to match.
I. Hobson The epitome of a true craftsman is when their work transcends the functional and becomes a work of art. This commission exemplifies the best of British craftsmanship — beautifully balanced, ruthlessly efficient. The team at Emberleaf have created much more than a tool.
CharlesCommission A choice of handle materials and the ability to customise the design of the sheath. I went for a Cael AR and it was the best decision I've made — a knife for life.
Laura W. True craftsmen with a passion and knowledge that has to be seen to be believed.
