Bantam Chefs

Blade:  5" (Texas wind and ladder high carbon damascus, 1084 steel)

Handle:  5" (maple burl, cocobolo, rainbow poplar, African blackwood)

 

I designed this knife to slot in between my 7" chef's knife and 3.5" paring knife. This style of knife is great for the smaller things you would use a chef's knife for, and the larger things that would make you reach for your paring knife. It is broad enough to chop comfortably, and nimble enough for peeling and point work.

Knives like these would price at $400-$500.

High Carbon Steel

Nearly all of my knives are made using high carbon steel. It is superior to stainless steel in almost every way, but you need to know how to take care of it. It is important to understand what you’re buying.

Want something custom?

If you would like to discuss a custom order, send me a message here to start the conversation. Your email will come to me, and I will respond personally. Tell me as much as you can about what you envision so that I can begin to frame the project in my mind, and we’ll go from there.

Pricing on custom work ranges from $100 on up to $10,000 and more, depending primarily on the complexity of the piece.

Lead time (i.e. when the knife might be complete) depends on what I have on my books at the moment, but in most cases 6 months is a safe guess.
