This is something new we've been working on for a long time. I've been wanting to do a series of knives that are more accessible for people to buy for years. The pursuit of this was way more tricky than expected, because of existing work flow, expectations, requirements, life shit, etc. This is only gen 1 of my new Design Series; they're all still completely hand made. These are:
8" chef’s knives
52100 steel (carbon)
Stone washed finish
Paper composite handles (with fiberglass inner frames and stainless steel pins).
The goal is to make small batches of knives that cut and feel just as good as any of our customs, has nine tenths comparable fit and finish, and is one third the price. The new signature represents a team effort in our shop - I'm not the overarching hand micromanaging every step. Hopefully this is something that will represent something bigger than just the individuals.
