Custom Order Chef Knives: New Village-Forge Design Series
Welcome to our new VillageForge collection!
This new pattern was made by the same bladesmith who made our Raptor series, the Charybdis and Camelback series, so you are getting the very same high quality knives that you have come to expect from Salter Fine Cutlery.
Our Village Forge exclusive design series of chef knives are both art to look at and hold, plus functional to use every day in a home or professional kitchen.
Each knife is individually hand-forged in Japan of superior R2 powder metal die stainless steel.
This unique series features a beautifully striking polished hammered pattern paired with grey matte damascus lines for a truly unique look.
They will impress any knife collector, professional chef, or home cooking enthusiast.
The distinctive styling of these knives combines the rocking motion of a traditional European-style chef knife with the edge precision and high quality steel that makes Japanese chef blades so desirable.
The wider heel provides increased space between the handle and the cutting board, making this knife an ideal choice for home cooks and professional chefs with larger hands.
