CARIBOO BLADES
We've been living now in the boreal forest on the edge of the Chilcotin plateau in the central British Columbia bush since 1997. We are off the grid, living with power from the sun and working toward a sustainable way of life. We've chosen to take the time.
Aki Yamamoto is a versatile artist, carving, printmaking, working with leather and drawing. Time spent at the Emily Carr Institute of Art and Design and broad world travel continue to influence her work.
Scott Richardson studied under George Rammell, a master craftsman, teacher and west coast sculptor. Scott started making carving tools in 1991 using leaf springs (5160), handforging and heat treating.
Both of them are trained artists and approach their tool and knife making as working art.
The Chilcotin - Cariboo is the region in which they live. The different styles of edge tools used in this region are brought together and made by Cariboo Blades Tools & Knives - Aki, Scott and Kai.
Working with craftspeople like loghome builders, chefs, wood carvers, wood workers and artists, we have developed our own unique style of high quality traditional hand tools and working knives from the finest materials. The steel, wood and antler we use is local and recovered and we use sun energy to power our shop.
