By Danielle, his spouse.
“I just love knives, they represent an extension of my hand;
a combination of beauty and utility.
I create personalised knives; with a special touch that represents
the owner...”
These words come from Sylvain Dion, a passionnate custom knife
artist.
|
| Sylvain was born 45 years
ago in the big city of Montreal. His parents used to spend summer
at their cottage and that is where Sylvain learned to love nature. |

Sylvain
now lives in the small village called Lac-à-la-Tortue located
in the beautiful Mauricie in the province of Quebec, Canada. Breathtaking
landscapes, untouched lakes, wild rivers and deep forests are trademarks
of this part of the province where tourism is very popular.
Sylvain studied in welding and metallurgy
and has been participating actively in historical reconstitutions
(les Arquebusiers de Kébek) and ironworks (Blacksmith’s
association of Ontario). Ten years ago he started making knives.
His sensitivity to recognize precious woods, his natural talent
and creativity have served him well since then.
Entirely custom handmade, Sylvain’s
knives are highly useful. But mostly each one of them is a piece
of art, beautiful, stunning, yours to enjoy for a life time. |
