Dark etched, CPM M4 carbon steel Santoku… newly up on our site and available! Santokus don’t always get a lot of love in the knife making world but, man, they are great all-purpose knives. This is a compact one at just over 5 inches. Handled with a ‘Hallows Eve’ shokwood scale that has beautiful hues of black, orange and a pearlized white. Wood is big leaf maple. #noraknives #knowthyknife #828 #santoku

Sweet Jesus! Look at this unfinished spalted elm. Nature makes handles even more odd than ours. The different colors and variations in the grain are spectacular and we have a huge batch in from a mill worker from Wisconsin who gathered these pieces that would otherwise be discarded. Keep an eye out on the site next week for some beautiful knives made from this American elm and maple. Likewise, if you want a custom knife made with this wood shoot us an email at info@noraknives and we’ll make it happen. #noraknives #knowthyknife #paringknife #chefknife #cheflife #woodworking #elmwood #chefstagram #chefsroll #food52grams #foodandwine #lifeandthyme #designsponge #bonappetit #realsimple
