Over time, his focus shifted from working with wood to working with steel, leading to the creation of his own original knife models. Despite pursuing other professional endeavors, such as furniture design and construction work, Modestas Skirmantas always maintained a strong passion for knifemaking.
Driven by his love for the outdoors and his enthusiasm for testing knives and outdoor equipment, Modestas Skirmantas turned his hobby into a profession. What started as designing and crafting knives for personal use soon expanded to serving friends, acquaintances, and eventually a wider audience.
