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
A hand-forged chef's knife with a tall heel and full-length cutting edge, built for everyday kitchen work — chopping, slicing, and mincing. The blade is finished with a dark forged patina fading into a bright, mirror-polished edge.
The handle is cast in a festive red and green swirled resin with brass pins, giving it a bold, one-of-a-kind look.
The details: Carbon steel (58–65 HRC), hand-forged, tall heel, forged patina fading to mirror-polished edge. Full tang construction. Cast resin handle, brass pins. Hand wash, dry immediately, occasional light oiling to prevent staining.
A gift worth giving: The red-and-green palette makes this a natural holiday-season gift, though the tall heel and full edge make it just as at home in daily use the rest of the year.
Every piece leaves the forge ready for a lifetime of use — our Knife Care guide covers the few simple habits that keep a hand-forged edge that way.
FAQ
Is this dishwasher safe? No — hand wash and dry after use; oil the blade occasionally to prevent staining.
What does the tall heel do? It adds extra blade height above the cutting edge, giving your knuckles more clearance from the cutting board during chopping.
What does "full tang" mean, and why does it matter? The blade steel runs the full length of the handle in one piece — better balance and durability for everyday use.
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.
