The Feather & Ember: A Western-Style Chef Knife
$3,000.00
sold out
I called this knife Feather & Ember—a name that reflects the fine detail in the feather-pattern Damascus steel and the quiet warmth in the copper and wood. It’s sharp, steady, and built with intention—just like the chefs who reach for it every day.
When I made this knife, I pictured someone who doesn’t just want to cook—they want to do it right. Someone who raises the bar in their kitchen, who cares about every cut and every person they’re cooking for. Not to impress, but because it matters. Feather & Ember was made for that kind of cook. Someone who believes their tools should match the effort they put in. Whether it ends up on the wall or on the cutting board, it deserves to be made well.
It features a 9.25” blade forged from 1084 and 15n20 high-carbon steel, brought together in a bold feather pattern. The handle is shaped from a rare brown and black-toned African Blackwood handle, fitted with a domed bronze pin and a custom copper alloy bolster with a hand-rubbed, forced patina.
Built to be used—and worth admiring.
