Knife makers you should know about but probably don't.


Chef knives are one of the most important items to a chef, not only for the practical aspects but as a source of pride in our work. Here are some knife makers doing amazing things.

Jonathan Parkerson


 A really interesting knife maker who has some of the wildest steel patterns we have ever seen. All knives have a very rugged, almost dystopian feel about them. Amazing stuff.

Dylan Grace


With some of the most unique silhouettes we have ever seen, pulling one of these out of any knife roll is going to earn you a lot of envy among your peers. No one will ever confuse this knife with one of their's ever.
