About Damned Designs

Damned Designs workshop

Our Story

Damned Designs was founded in 2015 by Adrian D'Souza, a passionate knife enthusiast with a vision to create exceptional everyday carry tools that combine innovative design, premium materials, and superior craftsmanship.

What began as a small workshop in Adrian's garage has grown into a respected brand in the EDC community, known for pushing boundaries and challenging conventional knife design while maintaining the highest standards of quality and performance.

Our Philosophy

At Damned Designs, we believe that the tools you carry every day should be as exceptional as the people who carry them. We're committed to creating products that are not only functional and reliable but also beautiful and inspiring.

Each knife we create is a perfect balance of form and function, designed to be used and appreciated for years to come. We take pride in our attention to detail, our innovative approach to design, and our unwavering commitment to quality.

Our Process

Every Damned Designs product begins as a concept, carefully sketched and refined until it meets our exacting standards. We then create detailed 3D models and prototypes, testing and iterating until we achieve the perfect balance of aesthetics, ergonomics, and performance.

We work with skilled manufacturers who share our passion for quality and precision, using only the finest materials and the most advanced production techniques. Each knife undergoes rigorous quality control before it bears the Damned Designs name.

Our Community

We're proud to be part of the vibrant and passionate EDC community. We value the feedback and support of our customers, and we're constantly inspired by the ways they use and appreciate our products.

We're committed to giving back to this community through collaborations with artists and makers, support for knife shows and events, and our ongoing efforts to innovate and elevate the world of everyday carry tools.
