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.

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. More info on the website if you are interested.

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!

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

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.

Saw these this morning on IG, made by the lovely @ameliajimenezb, and felt all kinds of inspired to go down and make some knives. Thank you! Loved seeing these. #noraknives
