Kitchen Cutlery

Everyone enjoys a sharp knife while working in the kitchen! 
I enjoy cooking and also love the challenge of making a knife that will function well for culinary use. 
On this page I will be adding new galleries of recent work.

The above knives are all forged-to-shape from 1095 high carbon steel. They exhibit etched surfaces to show a temper line which reveals the differential heat treatment process. This style of heat treatment manifests a hardened cutting edge and softer spine, resulting in strong, resilient blades.  A balance of serviceability and toughness is required in a kitchen knife. This differential heat treatment process results in this balance.
