Collection: Designer-Christophe Verstappen

Born as Christophe Verstappen in Belgium, now living in France and known by the nickname Tofke, he signs his designs with Knifetofke. He designs knives simply because he loves them and believes there should be a different model for every knife enthusiast. In the past, he used many kinds of knives as tools for work — from cooking to serving his country, to daily tasks and even for eating.

With a creative mind, he once started making knives himself, but due to a busy life and being away from home, he stopped and sold his tools and machines. A few years later, with more time available, he returned to his passion through designing, as restarting knife making requires a large investment. Many customers already know his earlier designs under his logo ST4SP, which stands for Special Things for Special People. Most of his designs are created for outdoor enthusiasts, food lovers, and duty men and women. His motto is: “Without a knife, a human cannot survive. Knives are tools with an edge.”
