HANDMADE CUSTOM CHEFS KNIVES - CRAFTED IN THE USA
Welcome to Ken Avery Knives - maker of handmade custom kitchen knives intended for everyday use. My mission is to create the finest handmade culinary knives that provide the ultimate in functionality, value, and aesthetics. It is great to have a kitchen knife that cuts great and feels good to use all day. It’s even better to have a custom knife that you know has been handcrafted by an artisan using the best materials available, is a joy to use, and looks great too; this is our product.
There are many ingredients that go into creating high end custom kitchen knives. Technical expertise, artistry, and the best steels available are the most important. There are many steels available for making knives. At Ken Avery Knives I use the best of the best. I have chosen the top 9 steels available including three super tough, high carbon stainless steels (CPM154, S35VN, and Elmax) considered to be the top of the food chain for stainless kitchen knife steels. I also offer 5 high carbon steels (1075,1095, W2, 52100, and CPM M4) that are considered to be the best knife steels available for high carbon, non-stainless steel kitchen knives. While all of our steels have specific properties that make them unique, they all offer extreme sharpness, maximum durability, and great edge retention. I offer one other stainless steel (AEB-L) for all of our knives. AEB-L is great stainless steel that offers many of the best properties of both stainless and standard high carbon steels. AEB-L makes a really good knife at a reasonable price point making it a great option for those that want a really good stainless steel knife on a budget.
Whether you are a professional chef, the primary cook at home, or you just enjoy whipping something up every once in a while, there is nothing better than having a high performance handmade chefs knife to work with. Ken Avery Knives makes handmade kitchen knives for any chef, of any gender, or any size. Each knife can be fitted to your specific requirements. Like a larger heavier knife? We have you covered.
