Care & Maintenance
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.
Personalisation & Engraving
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.

The details: hand-forged high-carbon steel with a black forged finish. Grey pakkawood handles with steel pins and steel bolsters. Black leather roll included. Free engraving on a blade (up to 20 characters) or on the leather roll; engraving adds 2 business days, and personalised items are final sale.
A gift worth giving: a matched set that covers every job on the board, from breaking down meat and chopping through joints to slicing, trimming and everyday prep.
High-carbon steel takes a keen edge and builds a natural patina over time. Dry it right after washing and wipe on a little oil now and then: see our Knife Care guide.

02 — Tempered
Hardened true
Each blade is hardened and tempered in controlled cycles, balancing a keen, hard edge with a resilient spine.
03 — Finished
Fitted & inspected
Ground, polished and fitted with its handle, then inspected edge to pommel before it ever leaves the forge.
