You may view the knives from our February sale below, though they are no longer available.

220mm Cocobolo Gyuto

Blade: Roller Bearing @HRC 64.

Handle: Westernized octagonal integral cocobolo handle with brass and leather spacers.

Notes: 193g. 53mm deep. Beautiful color variation in this piece of cocobolo. We like combining the colors with brass as we think it visually helps bring out the wood’s luster.

Cocobolo - Twin Lakes, Michigan.

Price: $1125

205mm Cocobolo Gyuto

Blade: Roller Bearing @HRC 64.

Handle: Octagonal integral cocobolo handle with brass and leather spacers.

Notes: 185g. 48mm deep. The last piece of this source of cocobolo we’ve been using for many years. Less red and more brown, this piece is almost like a super dense walnut.

Cocobolo - Oneta Woodworks scrap, Athens, Ga.

Price: $1025

7.75" Cocobolo Maple Chef

Blade: Roller Bearing @HRC 64.

Handle: Westernized octagonal integral cocobolo handle with maple burl and leather spacers.

Notes: 179g. 49mm deep. This source of cocobolo is a little less variable in coloration, smooth, dark and rich. We really like how the maple burl contrasts with the cocobolo on this piece.

Cocobolo - Denver, CO.
Maple - Wolfskin, Ga.

Price: $975

7.75" Cherry Burl Chef

Blade: Roller Bearing @HRC 64.

Handle: Integral western two-tone cherry burl handle with leather and piano key spacers.

Notes: 164g. 53mm deep. This fantastic piece of cherry burl is an even mix between sapwood (yellow tones) and the heartwood (pink/reddish tones) and has a high level of curl and variation in grain.

Cherry - Athens, Ga.

Price: $925

7.5" Black Cherry Burl Chef

Blade: Roller Bearing @HRC 64.

Handle: Integral western black-dyed cherry burl with leather and brass spacers.

Notes: 155g. 51mm deep. This highly-burled piece, dyed black, is almost overwhelming with its complexity and detail. There is not a square millimeter of this handle that is subtle upon close inspection.

Cherry - Athens, Ga.

Price: $950

7.25" Two-Tone Cocobolo Deep Chef

Blade: Roller Bearing @HRC 64.

Handle: Integral western two-tone cocobolo handle with copper and leather spacers.

Notes: 171g. 54mm deep. A piece that seems to have an unearthly glow from the inside, we love the red streaking in the grain and the contrast of the sapwood. One of Katy’s favorite handles in the sale (look at the other side and the top of it).

Sources: Steel - Roller bearing, machine shop, Birmingham, Alabama.
Cocobolo - Twin Lakes, Michigan.

Price: $1000

155mm Maple Cocobolo Santoku

Blade: Roller Bearing @HRC 64.

Handle: Octagonal integral maple burl handle with cocobolo and leather spacers.

Notes: 142g. 48mm deep. One of our favorite uses for cocobolo is as a spacer and accent material to give the handle visual depth. To me (Luke), this is one of the most pleasing handles of all of the knives in this sale. It’s rich but subtle and looks good from a distance with the contrasting materials or with close inspection.

270mm Cherry Burl Sujihiki

Blade: Roller Bearing @HRC 64.

Handle: Octagonal integral cherry burl handle with leather and copper spacers.

Notes: 185g. 37mm deep. Just a bang-up piece of highly-burled cherry. Because it is predominately sapwood, this piece of cherry burl has a lot of yellow and orange tones. It will look better and better as the heartwood portions darkens over time, increasing in contrast. Cherry, especially when aged, looks awesome with copper.

Price: $1075

145mm Cherry Petty

Blade: Roller Bearing @HRC 64.

Handle: Octagonal integral cherry handle with leather and brass spacers.

Notes: 134g. 43mm deep. Sometimes, while we love burl, our favorite pieces are ones like this where there is subtle grain, but also beautiful variation in color and visual texture. I (Luke) love the flag of sapwood curling into the back of the handle as well. This piece of wood came from right at the edge of a burl where the straight grain transitions to the burl itself.
