About
The Bladesmith
My name is Hudson Torrens, I am a Canadian bladesmith living and working in Calgary, Alberta. My journey began in 2020 when I started making knives with basic hand tools. In 2021 I started to apprentice for Chris Green (Black Cat Metal), where he taught me use of all the power equipment and many basic to advanced techniques. By early 2024 I transitioned to making knives full time working out of my garage. My work has evolved making all sorts of knives, focusing primarily on my culinary blades.
I love experimenting with different materials and techniques as I look for ways to improve my work. My knives are meant to be high performance art, built to be used and admired.
