The idea of having custom knives is an old school but classy idea. Pegasus Knives delivers hand-crafted blades made of the haughtiest of high class materials.
The story of the creator of this company is just as interesting as the carefully crafted blades themselves. The creator of the company was a chopper pilot previously, but not just any chopper pilot. Chris Goldmann, the creator of Pegasus Knives, was the late Nelson Mandela’s chopper pilot before crossing over to custom-crafting knives. Nelson Mandela was an amazing man, and he obviously surrounded himself with amazing people; that’s where Chris comes in.
The knives are hand-made and can take between 20 to 40 hours to make if not a little more, according to Chris. The design of the knives varies but each knife features high-quality products like giraffe bone, Tambuti and Masame steel, for example. If you collect knives, this is the best of custom knives
