CHEFS

KNIFES

One of the first things I learned as a blacksmith was toolmaking, the majority of tools I own I had made myself. This time I wanted to make tools that could be used outside the forge. 

I started to wonder what is the most commonly used tool and the answer came immediately: kitchen knives. Upon my research, I have found that all around the world there is a long tradition of craftsmen that specialize in knife making. The multitude of shapes lengths, methods of sharpening is mind boggling also chefs that specialize in different cuisine chose different knives. All of those designs were developed to perform a particular task and this gave me access to the whole new world of tools I can make. This is when I decided to make a set that would bring together both of my knowledge of materials, toolmaking and the traditional forms to create the knives that will excel in the kitchen.
