Kitchen Knives

Full tang chef and kitchen knives, hand forged for the working kitchen rather than the display shelf. Chef, santoku, utility, boning, paring and cleaver patterns in Damascus and 1095 high carbon steel, ground thin where they need to slice and left thick where they need to take weight.

Factory kitchen knives are stamped from sheet and finished by machine. These are drawn out under the hammer, heat treated in our own shop and sharpened on the bench, then fitted with handles in rosewood, olive wood, stag horn and bone.

Carbon steel and Damascus both want a dry blade. Wipe after use, keep a light coat of oil on the blade, and never put one in a dishwasher. Buying for the whole block, see kitchen knife sets. Looking for one showpiece, see chef knives.
