About Designer
After high school, Johnathan Sibley went to art school where he honed his skills in design, painting, sculpture, jewelry, and illustration. After art school, Johnathan worked as a graphic artist and designer, CNC programmer, luthier, jewelry maker, and furniture maker. But, all roads led back to knifemaking. Every new skill was incorporated into it.
Johnathan Sibley now owns a storefront knife shop, The Blade Bar, in downtown Ben Wheeler, Texas. He makes hand-forged knives by day, under the name Djinn Knives, and works on designs for production knives in the evenings. Johnathan is grateful that he is "living the dream" doing what he loves to support his family.
He had the opportunity to compete on the History Channel’s ‘Forged in Fire’ in 2018 and he was a finalist in season 5, episode 10 of the show. Johnathan is very excited to bring you all of his designs, and share his love for design, met with his love for a functional, artistically-designed daily knife.
About Design
The Echis, named for the saw scaled viper, very much has a viper like appearance. This quick framelock offers three deployment options with its front and rear flippers plus an opening eye. Light in the pocket due to generous internal milling but with a large presence the Echis is both capable and comfortable. It’s attractive surface milling provides a nice grip and pleasant texture, but brings to mind what venom might look like under a microscope.
