Blade: 10" 250 layer high carbon damascus steel
Handle: 5.5" mesquite
This is an elegant knife that is ready to stun at the dining room table. The shape is based on the Japanese yanagi-ba, a type of knife designed specifically for long, clean, aesthetic slicing. The handle is my interpretation of the Japanese "wa" handle, with an octagonal cross section that fits the hand very comfortbaly.

Nearly all of my knives are made using high carbon steel. It is superior to stainless steel in almost every way, but you need to know how to take care of it. It is important to understand what you’re buying.
If you would like to discuss a custom order, send me a message here to start the conversation. Your email will come to me, and I will respond personally. Tell me as much as you can about what you envision so that I can begin to frame the project in my mind, and we’ll go from there.
Pricing on custom work ranges from $100 on up to $10,000 and more, depending primarily on the complexity of the piece.
Lead time (i.e. when the knife might be complete) depends on what I have on my books at the moment, but in most cases 6 months is a safe guess.
