MOUNT DESERT KNIVES

My wife and I love to cook and love the pleasure of working with exceptional kitchen tools. Six years ago we began buying chef's knives directly from a few very skilled craftsmen who hand make a limited number of these knives each year. These knives were a revelation to us in terms of their lightness, balance, strength, sharpness and edge-holding capacity. They varied in shape and design, but they each far exceeded the quality of the commercially distributed knives we had previously owned. Soon I began to study these materials and make knives of my own. Here is the chef's knife I developed and now handcraft in my home studio on Mount Desert Island.
