A myriad of choices lets you create a truely personalized custom chef knife of your dreams!
Type of Knife: The choice of knife type generally depends on the cutting task required. Larger, heftier knives like the 10” Chef knife are a great all-arounders in the kitchen. Smaller knives with shorter blades such as 6” Petty knives are easier to handle and allow for more control and finesse in cutting and chopping. Traditional Eastern knives, like the Santoku, have extraordinary balance and are excellent for long sessions of mincing and dicing. Large Carving knives are designed for heavy jobs like cutting meat and poultry as well as deboning.
Length of Blade: Chef knife blade lengths of 6" to 12" are common. A longer blade lets you make longer single-stroke cuts when slicing. Longer knives are generally more efficient for larger jobs as it allows for higher clearance when chopping and slicing. Shorter blades offer more control and are generally used for dicing and mincing, and cutting jobs that require finesse. Smaller knives are usually more suited to the smaller hand, and are less fatiguing and unwieldy.
Type of Steel: The finer the grain, the superior the quality of the steel. CS uses only fine grain ‘super steels.’ Superior uniformity of the alloys enhance consistent heating that produces remarkable edge holding characteristics and hardness. Powder Metal steel has less impurities than regular steel, and the compound blends thoroughly for homogenous distribution throughout the blade. Ingot Steel is the traditional rolled manufacturing process and helps orient the grain along the length of the blade for superior edge holding and durability.
Grind Angle: The angle of the hone is designed for the specific task of the knife. Chef and Carving knives are multi-use tools, and usually have a grind angle of 30 to 50 degrees (total angle). Santoku and Petty knives have more acute angles, between 15 and 30 degrees. Their shorter blades focus on control and finesse in slicing, dicing, and mincing. All CS blades are ground into a subtle distal “V” taper for enhanced control. For highly skilled professional chefs, the hone angle of each knife can been custom tailored to their requirements.
Handle Styles & Woods: All CS handles are cut from one solid piece of hardwood and ergonomically sculpted in 3D to produce knife handles of superior quality designed to improve comfort, control in cutting. CS custom handles allow you to obtain the ultimate in ergonomic comfort by making a handle that fits exactly to your hand. Great for the handicapped, arthritis or carpal tunnel. Custom Designer suites even the most discriminating of chefs. Let your creative muse choose from the exotic hardwoods available, and CS will produce your personal masterpiece of form with unparalleled function.
