If you love cooking and love a good knife, why not make it Damascus? One of the most beautiful and varied methods of creation, using different steels forge welded together and manipulated in different configurations to give you an endless variety of individual patterns. While we can make to order, please keep in mind that as we hand make our own Damascus billets here onsite, they are all unique and no 2 knives will ever be the same.
