I was born in 1971 in Bratislava. After experiences in various technical fields, I started by making replica historical weapons for the fencing group Corvus Arma, I was the founder and an active member of the group. Being a hiker, I logically continued with knife making. From this period also comes my nickname “Lasky’, which to this day I use as my trademark.
At the beginning of 1994 I moved to the city of Banská Bystrica, where I turned my hobby into my profession. Since 2005, I have been working on my own premises in the village Hrochoť under the Poľana hill.
During the more than 20 years now my knives have made a multitude of satisfied customers. From the prominent persons owning my knives I can mention HRH Prince Charles of Wales.
In the year 2003 I initiated the establishment of the Slovak Association of Knife Makers. I was its president until the year 2008.
I am a member of the german knife association DMG - Deutsche Messermachergilde.
Currently, I am making mostly damasteel knives of my own design and custom knives according to the wishes of my customers, other times I make stainless steel knives and rarely swords or other bladed weapons. If necessary I sometimes re-vamp axes, pickaxes or sharpen knives for the people from my neighborhood...
