My name is Filip Ondruska (aka HEJKAL - Goblin
in EN) and making knives is my hobby. I can guarantee that
each and every knife in my workshop is of unique design
and handmade with love.

I've been interested in making knives since 1997 and since 2000 I've been having regular exhibitions in Pribram, Brno and Prague.
I've been living and working in Sovinec since 2002.

After a number of years of learning I dare say I'm a cutler and blacksmith. The love for steel has been running in my steel family blood for four generations or maybe longer so I have a reason to be doing what I love doing rather than what I've been trained to do at school!
* In 2013
I stopped making tailored knives so customers can choose already made knives without having to wait. This approach provides me with more freedom in my work and drives me to better results.
