Make it your own
Handmade blades, by a chef for chefs

If you're the creative type, like I am and most food or knife people are, then why make due with a mass produced knife that anyone can own?  If you don't see something that really excites you on my store then let's work together to customize a blade that speaks to you!  Looking for a special chef knife for a loved one or maybe an extremely fortunate co worker?  Always wanted a differentially hardened 300mm single bevel yanagiba to display your sushi skills?  Or perhaps the outdoors are more your thing and you need a solid bushcraft style blade to make your way in wide open spaces?  I would be honored to work with you to create something we can both be proud of and you will use for years to come.  I can assist you in deciding material choices for your blade as well as handle, finding a profile you find most appealing, even customize your blade with a small logo, design or message.

Your custom order production time will depend greatly on the materials and style you decide upon but normally average eight weeks from final design to completion.   All work is done by me in my shop so the lead time is a must so I may source materials I may not already have and to ensure a level of quality I strive to maintain.  On rare occasions I may have a blade nearing completion that you find attractive and we can tweak the final details to suit your tastes.  In these cases, turnaround would obviously be much quicker.   Regarding handle materials I tend towards stabilized woods, meaning woods that have been vacuum impregnated with a resin to make them resistant to rot, warpage and water damage.  I also, when requested, can use many other materials like carbon fiber, micarta or g10 (which are popular with outdoor use blades).

Blade size and materials used are the largest determining factor in cost.  However, in general, an 8" chef knife will start in the $250 range for normal materials and finish out.  Of course, this will rise with additional customization.
