      Fire & Slice - Delivered to Bell MTS Fibe TV Channel 1!
As a filmmaker and knife maker based in Winnipeg, Manitoba, I was excited to embark on the journey of creating "Fire & Slice," a new series that explores the world of knife making. From the moment I contacted Bell/MTS about the opportunity to showcase my skills and passion for crafting unique knives, I knew this project would be something special.
Throughout the filming process, I was constantly inspired by the individuals who would receive one-of-a-kind knives. From a historian to a chef, each recipient brought their own stories and unique requirements to the table. These stories helped shape each knife, making them truly personal and special.
