A Look at Keanu Alfaro: More than a Knife Designer | Knife Bio | AK Blog
Posted by Just Jul on
Keanu Alfaro is a prominent figure in the knife manufacturing and design industry, known for his innovative approach and commitment to craftsmanship. Born, raised and currently residing in San Diego, CA, USA, Keanu's journey towards designed and manufacturing blades really began when he sketched a knife concept onto a napkin a few years ago. Then in 2019, he found that very same sketch just as he earned his first collaboration with a well known knife brand. Though he'd received many responses about the knife market being too saturated to take on new designs or designers, Keanu continued on, ignoring their constructive criticism. Then in 2023, he earned a nomination for Best Folding Knife of the Year and has since partnered with countless big name knife makers such as QSP, Boker, Bestech & Bestechman, Black FOX, and more.
