Our founder, Matt, has been a dedicated knife collector for over 30 years. His passion began during his childhood in the Yorkshire countryside, where days were spent exploring woodland, building dens with friends, and fishing. A gift from his grandfather—his first folding knife, accompanied by the firm instruction “don’t tell your mother”—sparked a lifelong appreciation for knives and the outdoors.
As social media expanded, it created unprecedented opportunities for skilled craftsmen and women around the world to showcase their work. This exposure reignited Matt’s passion for exceptional craftsmanship and premium materials, and inspired him to bring some of the finest blades to enthusiasts across the UK.
Lyons Blade is the result of that vision. Years in the making, the brand was founded to source outstanding knives and outdoor equipment from around the world and make them accessible in one place for like-minded individuals seeking something truly special.
We hope Lyons Blade becomes a trusted destination for high-quality blades and gear from leading manufacturers, while also supporting talented artisans by offering unique, one-of-a-kind pieces. If you don’t find exactly what you’re looking for, please don’t hesitate to get in touch—we’d be delighted to help.
