PHILOSOPHY

I believe that knives are tools worthy of special consideration. I know the joy of using a fine cutting instrument or oyster knife versus the aggravation and danger of using dull or inadequate utensils. I make knives that are beautiful and get the job done. With care, my knives will last a lifetime, and may even be passed down to the next generation. They're just that good!

 

CARE

Cutting knives should never be machine-washed, as all dish washing cleaning agents contain abrasives that remove the cutting edge and any wood finish. The high temperature water invades the wood, eventually destroying the natural wood handles. Any water that gets beyond the finish will swell the wood and break glue bonds. During the drying cycle the high heat and dryness cause the wood to shrink and possibly crack.

 

PRICING AND ORDERING

Email me for availability of a particular knife you may be interested in. I do not keep an inventory. The small kitchen knives usually are priced around $40, the medium kitchen knives and fillet knives go for around $50, and the large chef knives and oyster knives run from $75 - $100.
