Kitchen Quartet & Block

Blades:  10", 7", 5", 3.5" 1084 high carbon steel

Handles: 4" - 5.5" cocobolo, paper micarta, nickel silver

 

This is my standard four-piece kitchen set. I chose these four designs because I believe the provide all the versatility (and more) that you could ever need in your home. Of course there are other knives that one might use, but these four can do just about everything.

Pictured here in some stunning cocobolo, with a matching cocobolo block made by my friend Myrl Phelps of Danbury, NH.

A four piece set like this would be $1900

A block like this one would be $800 (though it should be noted that the price of the exhibition grade cocobolo accounts for nearly half of that)

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.
