8″ Maple Burl Chef Pair

Blades:  8" Texas wind damascus and 1084 high carbon steel

Handles:  5" maple burl, nickel silver, micarta

 

This is a pair of my signature 8" chef's knives. My culinary knives, like all the rest really, are designed to work and work hard. The handles are shaped to sit comfortably in the hand in a number of different positions, including the more forward "pinch" grip favored by the professionals. Maple burl is of course an awesome handle material, and no two pieces are ever alike.

 

A knife like the damascus one (top) would be $850. The 1084 one would be $600

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.
