Everyone enjoys a sharp knife while working in the kitchen!
As a trained chef, I love to cook and welcome the challenge of making a high quality chef knife.
On this page I will be adding new images of recent work.
I also invite you to visit the Gallery Page to see more of what I have created in the past.
The above knives are all forged-to-shape from a variety of high carbon tool steels, 1095, W2 & 1084m.
The above knives exhibit etched surfaces to reveal a gently undulating differential hardness that vary in heat treatment styles and applications. The process of this differential heat treatment whether it be by the application of clay as in fine Japanese swords or a edge quench, creates blades with soft supportive spines and keen long-lasting edges. Knives made in this way have very strong and resilient blades.
A balance of serviceability and toughness is required in a kitchen knife. The skill and attention to design, edge geometry and workmanship on each knife in union with a differential heat treatment process results in this balance. These hand made knives are heirloom quality and daily workers all in one beautiful creation.
