  • With over thirty Years of Experience Making Custom Knives, the custom knife world is taking notice of Harald Moeller's major  accomplishments. Harald has had a long and successful career in knife making, starting in 1978.

  •  Harald Moeller, resident of British Columbia, Canada takes his knifemaking art very seriously.  He produces beautiful linerlock folders using natural handle materials, stainless and damascus steels from the top damascus makers in the world today.  His attention to detail is exacting as are the tolerances on the work that he produces.

    Prior to beginning his work in the knifemaking trade in 1978, Harald apprenticed in Germany as a Machinist.  He then developed the skills necessary to become a machining instructor for the Canadian Military.  He continued as an instructor for 3 1/2 years.

    Harald began his career making knives part-time and after two years went full-time in 1980 specializing in the production of:  hunting knives, fighting knives, daggers, tantos, survival knives, bowies, swords as well as fantasy knives and axes.

    In 2002, Harald started making handmade linerlock folders and has specialized in them ever since. Harald loves to attend shows and meet with collectors and develop long-term friendships.  He is gratified when collectors appreciate his work and enjoys showing his work.

    To this date, Harald continues to passionately pursue his craft by constantly searching for new and innovative designs using exceptional and exotic materials, such as mosaic Damascus, Mammoth Ivory, Mother of Pearl, Black Lip Pearl, Gold Lip Pearl, Abalone, Gold accents, rubies and diamonds.
