Ariel Elias Salaverria
was born in 1965 in Buenos Aires, Argentina. He made his first knife
when he was only 12 years old. As he grew up, he worked as a mechanic
in diesel locomotives, electric facilities and artistic bladesmithing
shops among other places, gaining experience for his knife making
path. After several years of making knives part time, in 2002 he decides
to start working as a full time knifemaker and has been doing it since
then. Ariel's knives are individually crafted and completely hand
made on his small shop. Making knives exclusively in his own forged
damascus steels, Ariel has shown that his innovative mind knows no
boundaries on the combination of metals parts he uses for his blades.
Always pushing the envelope and trying new ways of doing things in
damascus, mokume and home made micarta, every one of his knives is
unique and mesmerizing.
