Meet The Maker

Chris Wright: From Detective to Professional Knife Maker/Knife Making Instructor.

Once a detective, I found knife making as a way to escape the stresses of the job. What began as a personal passion soon evolved into a craft of the highest standard, so much so that my knives are now in the hands of top chefs and discerning home cooks around the world.

Taking the leap - I left law enforcement behind to pursue knife making full-time, and from that, Teddy’s Experience Days was born. There is nothing I enjoy more than sharing my knowledge, teaching students the art of blade making, and meeting incredible people along the way. Every student brings something unique to the table, making the journey even more rewarding.

Age Restrictions and Shipping

All knife sales are strictly over 18 - Proof of age will be requested and ID must show the address used for dispatch. A photo of an official identification such as driving license or passport must be provided, furthermore it is now a legal requirement that an age verified postal service is used. I use UPS and the recipient is required to prove they are over 18 at point of delivery to the delivery driver. The cost of this service has been factored into the price of my knives unless otherwise stated. Should a sale take place in person the same checks will be carried out and unless I am absolutely satisfied that the purchaser is over the age of 18 no sale will take place.

Postage outside the UK - a quote will be sought from UPS depending on your location.
