NORA knives BLOG

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

More fun with laser engraving courtsey of a healthy obsession with the John Adams series, which we just recently discovered. (Merica!) This knife will likely be up and on our site by tomorrow along with a number of others. We are finally getting back in a groove over here. #noraknives #knowthyknife #uniteordie #bennyfranklin
