Steve Pellegrino is a knifemaker and owner of Pellegrino Cutlery in Philadelphia. We had a great conversation meandering around in his early love for rocketry and what it’s like having Jimmy Diresta as a professor at the School of Visual Arts. From starting a stage fabrication shop in New Jersey to being an Apprentice at a straight Razor company in Portland, Steve has seen a lot and has had his share of hard knocks; not to mention his most recent scare in a freak car accident. I’m convinced the early rocketry hobby was the foundation for a life of being bold. To painstaking build complicated and expensive rockets only to shoot them into the sky, not knowing if they will ever comeback ,or in once piece, or at all is a characteristic of not coveting your work as well as being comfortable with making bold decisions without the fear of the consequences. A very enviable characteristic as working Bladesmith- thanks again Steve!
