Whether your preference is a high quality Japanese stainless steel chef knife with a traditional western style full-tang handle or a more traditional style non-stainless carbon steel Japanese chef knife, we guarantee it will be of the highest quality available anywhere because each blade has been hand-forged by a master Japanese bladesmith.

Salter Fine Cutlery is pleased to offer our beautiful Raptor design line of hidden tang chef and kitchen knives. These individually hand-forged blades are available in many sizes and shapes. Ask what is currently in stock as stock fluctuates rapidly.

Our Raptor design blades can be made with a variety of decorative handle options and shapes (above) or with wood-only traditional Japanese style handles (below).

We also offer custom engraving on your knife or metal bolster. The Raptor chef knife shown below illustrates custom engraving on the blade.

Contact us for pricing for individual knives from our Charybdis Collectible design series as seen in the photos below. Our Charybdis series features a whirlpool damascus design. Each whirlpool was created by hand by the bladesmith.

Each of these custom designed blades have been individually hand-forged in Japan to our own designs.

To order a single custom-designed, handcrafted chef knife, please select from the blade options below. From there you will be able to see the blade sizes and finishing details available for those blades.

Our chef knives can be ordered with a variety of handle options and materials. They can be engraved to your wishes and make wonderful heirloom gifts in either a custom handcrafted keepsake or presentation box.

From a single knife to a complete set, our chef knives are precision culinary tools with the refinement of fine, functional art. Offered with or without a wide selection of handcrafted koa storage solutions--sayas, stands, in-drawer and wall racks and boxes. Our chef knives make a gorgeous addition to any kitchen while providing the optimal experience for any master chef or home cook.

Custom Requests for Knife Collectors or Professional Chefs

We can fulfill a wide range of custom requests in either carbon steel or stainless steel options. Below is one such example: a 210mm single bevel chef knife of VG10 stainless steel with hairline finish and super hard and durable ebony handle with stainless steel bolster and round end cap. A beautiful heavy duty knife, this chef even modified the blade drawings to meet his own wishes. 

For lovers of traditional carbon steels, we offer Shirogami YSS white paper steel shown below or Aogami carbon steel among others. To order a carbon steel knife in any size, contact us for pricing. All carbon steel knives are custom orders and our master bladesmith in Japan will forge one to your own specifications. Single or double bevel blades can be requested.
