The Kepler Space Telescope was built to search for planets beyond our solar system. Adam’s Kepler takes that spirit of looking closely somewhere a little more terrestrial: the forest floor. Designed for foraging and mushroom hunting, Kepler’s downward-curving blade helps with harvesting and cleaning a variety of mushrooms. Like its namesake, it rewards a keen eye for details that might otherwise be easy to miss.

This knife comes with a custom fit sheath to protect your new knife during storage and transportation.

Adam Andrews

After a decade working as a cook, Adam Andrews’ cutlery had become an extension of his hand. Wanting better options, the lifelong tinkerer decided to invest in the tools to make a knife rather than spend his hard-earned money buying one. He ground his first blade in his Portland apartment, heat treated it in his mom’s backyard, and began his journey as a bladesmith.

Fifteen years later at Acre Knife, Adam’s process still begins with the needs of the user. He starts with the blade pattern, then develops the handle around it, integrating ergonomics and style. His attention to how a knife feels in the hand comes from an interest in 3D modeling. “Working with shapes — particularly on the CNC machine at the forge — has helped me see materials not just for what they are, but for what they can become.”
