Is the creator and sole handler of Diez Knives. He is originally from San Francisco, CA and was in the woodwork industry for 13 years before venturing into the knife world in 2010. His hobbies are generally centered around his love and interest in survival and the outdoors. His interest in gear making led him to the design and crafting of knife sheaths for right and left-handed users like himself. After much trial and error, Julio successfully made his first sheath and began to sell them online. After time, interest in his work began to grow. He then decided to officially start his company, with its original name, "The 710 Custom Sheaths", in the beginning of 2011. His skills grew continuously and after a few years, Julio made his first knife. His company name was later changed to "Diez Knives" in 2018, in order to reflect the broad spectrum of products he supplies. He now specializes in all varieties of knives, handles, and sheaths included. Each piece is made with care, creativity, and precision, whis is clearly reflected in beautiful craftsmanship.
