LOUISVILLE , KENTUCKY
FALL KNIFE SHOW

"When I design my custom knives, the function always comes first. The aesthetic consideration and decoration elements normally come by themselves as part of the creative flow.!"

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I love two things in my life, one is outdoor life and the other is martial arts. I have been collecting knives and practicing martial arts like Aikedo , Muay Thai and AMOK!  the  knife fighting since I was 15 years old. This experience has given me the knowledge to make my fighting and hunting knife designs.

I started making knife as an amateur in 1993. My brand name "Yuna", which is the combination of my nickname "Yun" and my wife's name "Na"; who supports and encourages me to be a professional knifemaker, and also loves the art form.

When I design my custom knives, the function always comes first. The aesthetic consideration and decoration elements normally come by themselves as part of the creative flow.

In 2004 I can apply to be a probationary of Knife Maker Guild and at the first time that I attend the knife showin U.S.A. I get award the best custom folder at NKCA ( National Knife Collector Association ) fall knife show ,Louisville,Kentucky. In the show I met many knife collectors appreciate my knives and they can afford it. This experience has given me to 
recall when I was a child and started to collect knife. The handmade knives is very expencive. Now I can make handmade knife with high quality. I want to make knives that Everyone can buy and appreciate it.

Now, the custom knife has become an important part of my daily life. I take the designs I make seriously and am committed to excellence in the completed designs I create.
