Random Knives is handcrafted Argentine cutlery from Lautaro Julio and Mauro Santacatterina. Each maker began forging knives individually in 2014, and in 2018 they merged their workshops in Don Bosco, Quilmes, Buenos Aires, into a single project with its own identity.
The heart of every piece is the blade. Random Knives works in San Mai, Go-Mai, and multi-layered damascus steel, choosing the steel combination to suit the knife being built. San Mai wraps a hard cutting core between tougher outer cladding for edge and resilience together, while damascus delivers a one-of-a-kind pattern that never repeats from one piece to the next.
What sets Random Knives apart is a refusal to stand still. The duo pulls from jewelry and fine woodworking, worked guards and fluted collars, exotic woods chosen piece by piece, so each model carries its own aesthetic language instead of repeating a single formula.
Every knife is made entirely in the workshop, individually and in limited numbers. The line runs from the Arrow Dagger to the Weasel Comadreja, with handles in woods like guayacan, ironwood, thuya, and wenge, hand-finished and paired with a leather sheath. These are collector pieces first, not mass-produced tools.
