The Daily Driver design is the knife I reach for most in my own kitchen. It’s one of my favorite profiles and easily my most requested design.
With a 9.5-inch Damascus blade and a 2.5-inch heel, it moves easily from fine, controlled prep work to heavier jobs like breaking down thick cuts and handling tomahawk steaks. The Damascus gives the blade a natural, flowing character that feels bold without being overdone.
The handle is dyed and stabilized curly maple, chosen for its depth, rich color and the way it moves in the light. It gives the knife personality without being too loud and it feels solid, comfortable and balanced in the hand.
This knife is simple, honest and built to be used every day. It’s the kind of knife you can admire, but it was made to work.
