A kitchen knife needs to be light, strong and feel good in the hand.
Toughness, good edge retention and ease of edge maintenance are highly valued in both commercial and home kitchens.
Chef's Knife Narrow
Black Robin Knife blades are now made by hand cutting from sheets of knife steel.
I then shape and grind them by hand.
They are then heat treated in my electric computer controlled furnace.
I then refine the blades with finish grinding and cleaning up.
Finally I make the handles and sharpen the blades ready for use.
