What we forge

The kitchen line runs from 8-inch chef knives and santoku-style blades to nakiri and cleaver-choppers, forged in pattern-welded Damascus and high-carbon steel. Blades are full-tang, balanced at the bolster and ground thin behind the edge so they actually cut, and handles are fitted in Micarta, olive and walnut wood, and stabilized hardwoods that hold up to a working kitchen.

Why Damascus kitchen knives sell

Damascus chef knives are one of the strongest gift and upgrade categories in cutlery right now, and home cooks pay for the pattern. For a kitchen shop, cutlery counter or gift retailer, a case of hand-forged Damascus chef knives lands at a price point that imported stamped blades cannot touch, with the made-in-USA and one-of-a-kind story doing the selling.

Edge and care

High-carbon Damascus takes and holds a fine edge but is reactive, so it wants to be hand-washed, dried and lightly oiled rather than left in a sink. Blades ship sharp and heat-treated to a working hardness. Point your customers to a whetstone, not a pull-through, to keep the geometry we grind into them.
