Peter Tal Email & Phone Number

I've had many interests in the 20 years I’ve been around. Snowboarding, BMX biking, finance, culinary, scuba diving, and designing and building things. From an early age, whether it was constructing with Lego or using my Dad’s tools to woodwork, I’ve always been inspired to create. As a teenager, I developed a love of metalwork and blacksmithing. Much to my parent’s dismay, I even built my own forge in the backyard. Since blacksmithing wasn’t something I thought I could pursue, I decided to apply my interests and go to culinary school.There, I understood the importance of a well-designed and crafted knife. That led me back to my first passion and I set out to design my own chef’s knife. I became proficient in working with techniques like grinding, forging metal, oxy-acetylene cutting, and welding through this process. I have recently started working digitally with CAD programs to make more complex designs such as folding locking knives, Balisongs, and retractable knives. And while I’m happy with my progress and skills so far, it’s all essentially self-taught. What I want now is to learn design theory, and proper techniques that I know I can only get at a great design school.

Listed skills include Leadership, Bladesmithing, Microsoft Powerpoint, Cooking, and 18 others.
