Aleks Nemtcev runs Noblie Custom Knives, a family workshop that builds one-off blades and related gifts. Work on any given piece is shared: a knife maker forges the blank, an engraver adds ornament, a carver shapes handle scales, maybe a jeweler sets small accents. Four or five specialists often touch the same project, so finishing time ranges from a few weeks to half a year, depending on how complex the brief is.
Finished knives, daggers, swords, and sabers are listed in Noblie’s online catalog and ship worldwide from the company’s base in Edison, New Jersey. Buyers who want something different can commission a piece, choosing the steel, handle material, and decorative work—hand engraving or scrimshaw, for example. Each custom knife arrives in a wooden presentation box.
The workshop also accepts sword orders. Clients pick from Damascus or modern alloys and can request extras such as initials or a family coat of arms. Noblie has offered this mix of ready-made and bespoke blades since 2015.
