Fresh off the bench for Blade Show last month in June 2026, “Raijin” is a 9” gyuto in New England Breeze stainless Damascus steel and stabilized afzelia. This piece was available at my table, which was 2Q from June 5-7. It has since sold. The steel was forged for me by my good friend Will Brigham and the wood is from Ben Greenberg.
If you are interested, and even have a vision of what you are looking for in the design on your chef’s knife or collector’s blade, fill out a contact form at JonasBlade.com to reach me. Commissions do start around $1,000.

Zack Jonas was born and raised in Massachusetts in the 1980’s and is still a New Englander today. With his growing love for art over the years, he took an introductory bladesmithing class at MASSart. It was there that he learned one of his most valuable lessons, which is that everyone has some insight worth learning. Today, he is a full-time bladesmith and feels incredibly fortunate to have found his calling.
