About

My story

About me – My Name is Martin Pearson. For me, It all began in 1983, on the fringe of the Kalahari desert, Botswana, Africa.

Living the life I have, has given me a different perspective of the World. I have always been an outdoors man. Which means that I have always had an affinity for everything knives, guns, slingshots, archery etc.

My parents bought me a Stanley knife on my 6th birthday and I would be perfectly happy whittling away for hours at a time. 

I actually made my first ever knife when I was just 7 years old. I made it from a hacksaw blade wrapped in a twine handle.

( I promise my knife making skills have greatly improved since then.) 

Every step I have taken since becoming an adult has been striving towards living a happy and simple life.

2019 marked the beginning of a new era, when Mrs Branco Customs and I moved our lives to the beautiful countryside of Portugal.

This move has given us the opportunity to live from our own land, enjoy a way of life that will include more outdoor pursuits and give me the opportunity to start my own business.
