​Designer/Metalsmith/Sculptor

Kevin O’Dwyer’s Damascus steel cutlery unites the ancient tradition of pattern-welded steel with contemporary silversmithing design. Each knife is forged from layered steel, creating distinctive rippling patterns that are both visually striking and functionally enduring. Handles and details often incorporate silver and hardwoods including ebony and bog yew emphasizing the fusion of strength and elegance that defines O’Dwyer’s work. These handcrafted pieces are more than utensils—they are sculptural objects that elevate dining into an art form, celebrating the balance between utility, beauty, and craftsmanship.
