I want to stay true to the hand-made process and won't make the same knife twice. Every knife is unique and lengths are approximate.
-
Knife type and edge.
Choose the type of knife you want: Gyuto Chef, Cleaver, Petty, Paring, Slicer, or Boning.
Then choose a custom size / length.
The knife edge can double-bevel or single-bevel and customizable whether you are right handed/ or left handed.
I only make knives in small batches to focus on quality.
For other special requests, contact me. However, I do not do serrated blades.
-
Steel.
Choose from these two types of steel: High carbon or damascus.
I work with high carbon steel for three main reasons:
1) It retains it's edge 3x as long as stainless blades will.
2) It develops a nice brown/bluish patina as you use it. Gives it personality.
3) I am a self-taught knife smith who learned to make knives with high carbon steel. With trials and error comes knowledge. I focus on high carbon steel as a medium to better each knife.
Please see this article from SERIOUS EATS for more information on Carbon Steel Knives.
-
Handle.
Choose from various types of handle material: solid wood, exotic wood, or maker's choice (this process comes after the blade is made and can be discussed later on).
