Chefs Knife
Hand Forged
Remade in England
Using Upcycled Materials
THE BEGINNING
The steel used for this Chefs Kitchen knife is some 60-100 years old, originally being made in Sheffield, world renownd for exceptional quality steel.
It's life has already been lived - it's a discarded vintage engineers file. Used to slowly cut and machine all sorts of metal into shape.
By fire I can forge this material into something entire new that can be lovingly used to prepare food every day.
Chefs Kitchen Knife
Laminated Construction
Perhaps the most useful knife you'll own. This comes in different forms, so please just ask or I'll reach out after receiving your order. Some people prefer a predominately flat profile, some prefer one for rocking - some like a bit of both. Overall it is designed to handle many different tasks in the kitchen and can quite easily be used for almost everything if you're comfortable with them!
100% handforged and handmade by me.
- High carbon steel blade forged from upcycled Sheffield steel with a mild steel jacket OR antique wrought iron with a high carbon core, please choose below.
