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
Make it truly yours — we can engrave a name, date, monogram, or graphic on most of our blades using a 50-watt fiber laser for crisp, permanent detail.
Simply send us your engraving details by email after placing your order and we'll take care of the rest.
Shipping & Returns
Every order ships tracked across Canada and the USA, with free shipping on orders over $150. In-stock pieces leave the forge within a few business days; made-to-order pieces take a little longer, and we'll keep you posted along the way.
If something isn't right when it arrives, reach out to our team — we review every return request with care and will always work with you to make it right.

FAQ
Is this dishwasher safe? No — hand wash only, dry immediately, and apply a light coat of food-grade oil to protect the Damascus pattern.
What does "full tang" mean, and why does it matter? The blade steel runs the full length of the handle in one solid piece rather than a separate tang inserted into the handle — it's what serious cooks and collectors look for, since it means better balance and a knife that won't loosen at the handle over years of use.
Does the Damascus pattern vary between sets? Yes — every blade is folded and forged by hand, so the wave pattern on your set is unique to that piece.
01 — Forged
Shaped at the anvil
Bar stock is heated and hammered to shape by hand — every bevel drawn out at the anvil, never stamped from a sheet.
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.
