SEAN ALONZO

Maker of Heirloom Folding Knives, Cigar Cutters, Presentation Swords, and more.

Motivated by a desire to create objects that people would value beyond their function, Sean founded Balete Blades, a studio named after the tree of Philippine myth. What began as a small practice soon evolved into a recognized creative force. Along the way, his work has attracted the attention of chefs, collectors, and royalty.
