Hey all! We have 6 new knives available as last minute gifts for Christmas! Scroll thru to see them. If you buy today (12.18.19) before 4PM PST then it will ship TODAY and the knife should get there just in time for Christmas! (Assuming the US postal system gets the job done according to their standard ship times. No guarantees but they usuallycome thru!) Of course we are having problems with our Mailchimp account so emails on this batch never went out. Apologies to our subscribers but hopefully you see em’ here. Happiest of Holidays!! -Dani & Steve https://www.instagram.com/p/B6Ov_dDhTck/?igshid=84tp65xygx0hMore

Happy Friday!! We have 3 knives that represent the last of a stainless steel batch we made. We threw these up on the website (noraknives.com) and they are available now if your interested. This guy is affectionately called: “BB-ATE.” Droids seem to be having a day right now so we made this one in honor of our son’s favorite, new-wave droid. (You should never underestimate them from what we’ve heard.) At 6.5 inches this little utility knife would be a great fit for the little chef in your life. Just sayin’. #noraknives #knowthyknife #handmadechefknife #cheflife #chefsknife #starwars #BB8 https://www.instagram.com/p/B64MG3zBFkd/?igshid=1go9zlsn7eju3More

Gentlemen. Something to ponder: custom flatware. Did you know we sell that now? “So what?” you think. Here’s what…Valentine’s Day. You have 2 weeks. No gift yet? Shocker. We have a proposal. How about you let us help you out with that AND exponentially increase your odds of getting lucky? Ok, Dani…you had me at “lucky.” What sorcery is this? Picture a romantic V day dinner. The table is set, the candles are lit and your lovely partner happens to gaze down at her plate. What’s this?? She picks up her fork. It’s engraved. She struggles to understand what she sees. A rose. A knife. Two initials?? Suddenly it hits, this “blade and bloom” pattern has her initial…and yours. (Beauty and the Beast.) You see the surprise. A sly smile rolls across her face. She may not have the ring, but dammit, at least she has a fork! Yes, gentlemen. You can be heroes. Just for one day. Order up a customized sweetheart set of flatware from us. She won’t be disappointed. Or at the very least, she’ll like it more than that picked over set of flowers from the grocery store. https://www.instagram.com/p/B8A0LFiBRXa/?igshid=14ehd230oyam1More

Steven has been working on these two knives for much longer than he would like to admit. The takohiki is gone but this single bevel (right hand use), 01 carbon steel yanagiba is still available.

Note to self: Talk does not cook rice. Thanks to all who purchased from our newsletter release late last week. We are working on getting these guys out! #noraknives #knowthyknife #talkdoesnotcookrice https://www.instagram.com/p/B9QSXBph6QP/?igshid=1rvenropxmsxsMore

New idea used on one from the last batch we just sold. I’ve been playing with our engraver for textures on the grip of one of my firearms and thought that I could use the same idea on chef knives to help with a pinch grip. So far I really like it. - Steven #noraknives #knowthyknife #chefknife #cheflife #handmadekitchenknife #handmadeknife https://www.instagram.com/p/B-xqulFj5ym/?igshid=1l9eb8ccqtxdMore

Alis Volat Propriis (latin) translates as: She flies with her own wings. (* Also, official motto of Oregon.) We made this one in honor of the owner @noblebirdrotisserie. She is a woman and mother of two that is working tirelessly to keep her brand new restaurant going strong. She is also a friend. We sit back and watch her go, go, go and then feel terribly uncomfortable about our lack of work ethic in comparison. Seriously though, she and her husband are amazing. Even better, the food is amazing. If you are anywhere near Long Beach (CA) then please do yourself a favor and grab some unbelievable takeout. This one is sold and is headed all the way to Singapore! Shipping to other countries still makes us giddy. We always tell ourselves that if our business all goes to hell, it will still be a really amazing thing to tell our kids that we made knives that are literally all over the world. So many things to be grateful for despite the odd circumstances. Hope you all have a memorable Easter weekend. #noraknives #knowthyknife #handmadechefknife #cheflife #chefsknife #chefknives #heirloom #handmadeknife #alisvolatpropriis #lineslayer #customknife #custommadeknife #custommadeknives #handmadeknives https://www.instagram.com/p/B-0fh_SjgoS/?igshid=1hyr9nhlr976xMore
