Welcome to my knife shop😀 You will find new items here for sale most every week. I have found I am more productive and push myself further producing work to sell here on my website. Therefore I no longer take any kind of custom order or reserve items for people. I find it better to concentrate on making the very best quality work and be able to offer more items for sale. These days I use Instagram to show my working process, and I also use Instagram to give notifications of new stock, and to Auction one off items. I intend to add a fresh Mailing list for a simple notification of when new knives come in stock for those who do not use Instagram, which I will add here shortly.
215mm KU damascus special edition gyuto.
£595.00
Sold out
This is #1 of a train of thought, inspired by the famous “River Jump” Japanese knives. I saw this one as a test piece , to see if the materials would work as hoped and to test some finishes on.
It has turned into a beautiful and very unique piece of work. As well as a practical and fantastically cutting knife to own. But bearing in mind it was a test piece and the next knives will develop in terms of technique. I will offer it at a fair discount and have given it a very nice but simple handle choice.
This is soft Damascus , with a natural KU from clay and water quench. I have given the bevel a polish just enough to show its potential with a nice high contrast Kasumi.
Here are the blade specifications
Blade length 215mm
Height 60 mm
Geometry 6-1.5/1
Weight 229g
Balance heel plus 15mm
Blade spec, soft twist Damascus, spicy white core 65/66 hrc.

Another of my Simple ku knives. Great forging, great heat treatment and a nice practical KU finish. These are iron clad spicy white, with a water quench, full hardness, it’s a great steel, holds an edge for a long time. The KU is natural ku finish and makes the knife a bit more practical not having to worry about patina.
These cut very nice , I leave plenty of room for the bevels on these so they can be fully convex and blended. Polishers can bring the bevel up higher if you like , it looks cool, but these are tuned up for an optimal balance of low friction and food release.
This knife is the Perfect all rounder do it all mid weight Gyuto. Very thin tip, more robust at the heel, nice belly for surface area to tackle larger foods than it ought and nice height.
