Knife of the Year 2019 - Fixed Blade Knife
The Jade Knife
In the 2019 poll of German knife magazine's "Messermagazin", we were very successful and secured first place in two categories, "Fixed Blade Knife" as well as "Kitchen Knife". Even though we have won this award a number of times, every year it is a challenge to design something new.
For this years Full Integral Knife I created a sculpted contour on the back end of the blade. On the top part of the blade the steel was finely blasted, while the rest received a satin finish. This created a beautiful contrast, giving the blade a more three-dimensional look. The tang is tapered towards the end and holes on the underside make the knife more lightweight for a better balance. What makes this knife special is the elaborately crafted handle made of Jade. The material was set in a frame of jet (fossilized coal), which creates a interesting color contrast as well as makes the knife even lighter. The surface was textured for a better grip as well as further highlighting the material. Details
