These return labels are for customers who have mailed in their knives for minor repairs or sharpening which are services we offer to our clients for free. This will initiate your repair or sharpening order with us.

However, due to volume of the knives we sharpen and or repair we can no longer cover the cost of the return shipping.

The return shipping fee is a flat rate of $15.00 for an insured return to you. If someone sends more than 3 knives at once this fee may need to be adjusted for the shipping cost and insurance.

 Fusion Design Series Two Piece Set

The set includes two handmade kitchen knives of 52100 carbon steel.  This series fuses the performance and geometry of an Eastern-inspired blade profile with the comfort and beauty of a Western style bolster and handle. The gyuto features a handle of domestic walnut sourced from Zack's farm in Charlottesville, Albemarle County, VA.

The handmade knives are a 6"/152 mm kitchen petty/honesuki and an 8.5"/216 mm chef's knife/gyuto delivered as a set with matching custom leather sheaths. The sheath is included for traveling with your knife, but should not be used for storage as it will cause rust. The hexagon handles are secured with brass corby bolts and bolsters to offer a nice weight for the knife to balance at the pinch point.  The gyuto weights 8 oz while the honesuki weighs 6 oz. HRC 61.

-Handmade in Virginia and Idaho, USA

-Free sharpening for the life of your blade

About the knife steel:

52100 high carbon is an awesome steel alloy for kitchen knives that is often preferred by professional chefs. This steel needs attention and care with every use. Since carbon steels can rust easily, your blade should be wiped dry after every use and never stored in a sheath. It should never be left wet or sitting in a wet sink. Over time, a natural patina colorization will develop. This is a natural process of oxidization and is a sign of a well-used blade. 

Our knives are not intended for, nor will they survive being put into a dishwasher! We offer a full warranty on our knives, however, damage due to negligence (rusting of blade) and or dishwasher use will require a repair fee. 

Shipping only within the continental US.

222mm gyuto

178mm nakiri

165mm honesuki

90mm paring

The handles are of locally sourced Walnut from Pantops Mountain in Charlottesville, VA. This mountain is the site of a farm once belonging to Peter Jefferson, which sits in the view shed of Monticello, Thomas Jefferson’s home. Thomas Jefferson eventually inherited the farm from his father, who is buried just yards from where this Walnut was felled and stored for the last forty years. We call it our Jefferson Walnut. It is highly figured and is a rich, deep brown. On each Wa shaped handle is a ferule of African Wenge and spacers of brass around a green Malachite composite, which should complement the green resin handle of the bread knife.
