Exact measurements for this piece are being added — reach out and we're happy to confirm dimensions before you order.
Hand wash only with warm water and mild soap, and dry immediately — never leave a blade soaking or run it through a dishwasher. Wipe on a light coat of food-grade mineral oil after use to protect the steel, and store it dry in a sheath, knife roll, or on a magnetic strip. A few seconds of care after each use keeps a hand-forged edge true for decades.
Add free engraving with the option above — up to 20 characters on the blade, or engrave the leather sheath. Adds 2 business days. Engraved pieces are final sale. For any other engraving request, email us at info@northboundblade.com.

From the forge
Un couteau de chef forgé à la main, avec une lame à dos droit et une finition forgée foncée s'estompant vers un tranchant aiguisé et brillant – conçu pour hacher, émincer et portionner au quotidien.
Le manche combine une poignée en bois clair avec une mitre enveloppée de fil métallique à la main pour une résistance renforcée et un look rustique distinctif.
Laver et sécher à la main après utilisation ; huiler occasionnellement la lame pour éviter les taches – notre guide d'entretien des couteaux couvre tout ce qu'il faut savoir d'autre.
01 — Forged
Bar stock is heated and hammered to shape by hand — every bevel drawn out at the anvil, never stamped from a sheet.
02 — Tempered
Each blade is hardened and tempered in controlled cycles, balancing a keen, hard edge with a resilient spine.
03 — Finished
Ground, polished and fitted with its handle, then inspected edge to pommel before it ever leaves the forge.
