Handmade kitchen and chef knives

Thin, sharp kitchen knives crafted for cutting performance

A kitchen knife should move through ingredients cleanly and predictably. Dark Blades kitchen and chef knives use thin high-carbon-steel blades and full-flat grinds to reduce cutting resistance.

The Cook

The Cook is the full-size handmade chef knife in the Dark Blades range. Its broad, thin blade is designed for slicing, chopping and general preparation.

The Mini Cook

The Mini Cook is a compact kitchen knife for peeling, trimming fruit and vegetables and completing smaller, precise tasks.

Carbon steel in the kitchen

The blade should be washed by hand, dried immediately and lightly oiled when stored for longer periods. A natural patina will develop with use.
