My Bio
Hi I'm Stephen Precella, creator of Raven's Fire Knifeworks. I started making knives in 2012 with a local artist named Russell Montgomery, owner of Serenity Knives in Houston, Tx. Houston is a fast growing culinary center these days, so we found a niche market with chefs and restaurants. I became the "steak knife guy" who made knives at night so few customers ever saw me. My steak knives ended up in restaurants locally and nationwide. But culinary just wasnt "Me."

I began branding my work "Raven's Fire," and I abruptly shifted to hunting and combat knives. This worked well for my teacher who thought a combat knife with "Serenity" stamped into it was ironic. Today, I still work for Serenity Knives and produce knives under both labels. I refer to myself as a unicorn, or gremlin because Im almost never seen by customers, but rest assured I spare no expense in time or resources to create a quality knife.

Hello fellow artists!!! Ive been away from DA for so long. Youve gotta understand at one point I spent all my free time here browsing for years. I have updated my gallery. In it you will see my progression in knifemaking from year to year. I had an epiphany a year and a half ago.  I was visiting a Faberge (excuse spelling) exhibit and it struck a chord. His work, and his employee's work was flawless. I was jealous. They made jewelry with hand tools alone and here I am with modern machinery unable to accomplish the same thing. So I decided that I would no longer make a knife that I could not be proud of. I hope my progress shows in my work. T
