About Hydra Design
Alessandra De Santis
Alessandra's knowledge about steels and materials comes from her university studies (she has a degree in Industrial Chemistry, and a Master degree in Industrial Chemistry of polymeric materials).
Alessandra is also a practitioner of FMA (Filipino Martial Arts) and she’s passionate about firearms and has the qualification for the construction, repair and sale of firearms, and the collector's license for cold weapons and ancient weapons.
The experience gained in testing and reviewing knives, and the growing dedication to the knife industry, led her in the following years to decide to take a further step, becoming a knife designer. So Alessandra embarked on this journey in 2018 with two limited edition fixed blade knife produced by Hydra Armaments (her family company that produces firearms devices for sporting, hunting and tactical uses) , and in 2019 she started collaborating with international knife manufacturers.
