Logan Smith
Logan Smith combines knife collecting with a background in art direction, design, photography and video. His experience at Blade HQ and Knafs, working with Ben Petersen, gave him a close view of knife development, the brands behind the products and the details collectors look for.
He founded Swedge Media, where he collaborates with brands, media outlets and creators in the everyday-carry industry. On Knife Informer, his work covers fixed blades, folding knives and the maintenance tools that keep them working.
