A true passion project born at the intersection of artistry and craftsmanship.

Meglio Knives is elated to announce The Signature Series, featuring a marriage of luxury knife making with gifted artists. Brandon Hampton, master knife maker of Meglio Knives, will be collaborating with notable artists all over the U.S. to breathe artistic life into functional masterpieces.

The second blade in the series, “Tempest Beacon” was designed by San Diego based tattoo artist Aaron Della Vedova . One of the world's most celebrated tattoo artists and the owner of Guru Tattoo. Aaron has worked on many celebrities within his time as a tattoo artist including stand up comic and UFC commentator Joe Rogan. Being that Aaron is constantly pushing creative boundaries, he was a natural choice to compliment the shape of our 10-inch chef’s knife.

As with all our Signature Series releases, “Tempest Beacon” will be an extremely limited-edition. Each blade is individually numbered, and only 10 blades have been crafted.

“I have been so excited to do this project! I can think of no better way to express myself than to combine my efforts with other artisans and craftsmen that are similarly dedicated to improvement and the pursuit of breaking boundaries.

I was able to work with Aaron to create something I could not have made alone, and we will only be making 10 of them. 10 numbered pieces will be available on the website in exactly one week. 10 of you will have something that will never be made again, a marriage of two minds into one manifest piece.

The Signature Series has already become one of my dearest creative outlets.”
