John Neeman Tools is a brotherhood of skilled craftsmen united by their love for handwork and ancient traditions. They use knowledge passed down through generations and carefully selected materials to make outstanding quality woodworking tools and knives. The work of John Neeman Tools bladesmiths and woodworkers keeps Latvian craftsmanship traditions alive and reminds us of the true joy of creation that can be found in meaningful handwork.

John Neeman Tools was founded by carpenter Jacob Dimiter. Historical research and crafts are his calling while the experience acquired in film industry helps him tell captivating stories about the brand’s tools and the craftsmen whose hands have given them life.

In four years, John Neeman Tools has grown to a modern platform that brings together craftsmen in Latvia and Estonia and communicates with clients from all over the world. However, Jacob and his men are not interested in manufacturing — they have defined uniqueness and high quality as their values that can only be achieved through unhurried and accurate manual labour. To become an owner of a John Neeman Tools item one may have to wait for up to a year.

Over time, John Neeman Toolscollection of woodworking tools, axesand knives has expanded to bows, leather bags and belts, watches and even skis. AllJohn Neeman Tools productsare given a lifetime warranty.
