Testimonials
I’ve been fortunate to work with some wonderful clients. Every custom order is a relationship - getting to know the client and what they’re looking for, the intimacy with the materials as the knife is being made, and of course (most importantly) the synergy between the owner and a knife that was carefully built just for them.
“I may not have a lot of knives compared to some, and maybe a lot compared to others… but two of yours have earned “most used” in my kitchen. I thank you for your creations and look forward to getting more newsletters from you in the future.

“I received my Diamond Grind knife and finally got a chance to use it today, all I can say is holy shit! This knife is perfect in every way, just a treat to use.”
“Got the knife this morning, let me start by saying, this is a masterpiece man! I am blown away. Not only the knife is beautiful but the functionality is perfect - the balance, the distal taper, the geometry, the rounded spine & choil for comfort, the flutes, everything is on point, it shows that every aspect has been through a thought process and has a reason. You are very talented my friend and your work shows that your are passionate !”
“Just received the two knives and I cannot tell you how I feel right now. I am an engineer by trade and the craftsmanship is just astounding let alone the beauty of them. I will use them with great joy and also the respect of the master craftsman that made them.”
“The Nakiri arrived today and it’s simply stunning!! Pictures don’t do it justice. I love the way it feels in hand and it’s exactly the size I was looking for. I’ve been very fortunate to have compiled a really nice collection of handmade knives over the last 18 months or so (by some well-respected makers—and I LOVE each one) but this one is simply on another level. You’re a true artist and bladesmith. ”
“All I can say is WOW, this knife is a true piece of art. I am soooo blown away with your attention to detail, you are a phenomenal artist. Thanks again Noah, I have been recommending you to everyone I know. Cheers buddy ....I will definitely be back for another custom project before ya know it.”
“Mate I was using your knives in the kitchen today and thinking that I have to message you again. Seriously, they’re perfect. Such a pleasure to cook with! The gyuto has a perfect curved edge. I can see this being my new go to knife! Thanks so much.”
“Man you’re so talented. I really can’t say enough about it. Tomatoes. Onions. Potatoes. Just cut up a bunch of stuff for no reason since it came earlier than expected. The grind is amazing. My favorite handle on any knife I’ve used. Push cuts it literally just falls through the onion. And slicing in smoother than butter. I’m honored to have this forever.”
“DUUUUUDDDE. It’s even more amazing in person than I could have imagined. Wowwwww. SO EFFING NICE. Thank you for working on this on such a short timeline!!”
“Hey Noah. Picked up the knife last night. Looks awesome. Better that expected. Love the way it fits on my belt and in my hands. Thanks for all the hard work and working with me to make sure it is exactly what I wanted. You are a true artist!!”
“Hello Noah.. just to let you know that I’ve received the the most amazing, beautiful, functional kitchen tool.. I’ve got some awesome custom cutlery builds.. and not to take anything from them... this build is otherworldly, the Koa handles are gorgeous... this is a master piece!! It’s just so well built, gorgeous finish, and extreme ability to operate at the highest level. Thank you very much!! I will enjoy it for years to come!”
“Put the knife through some prep work this past weekend and it was a complete pleasure to use. The feeling I have now is what I was looking for when I received my first custom chef, but it didn’t deliver. Thanks again man! ”
“The knives are quite wonderful. Ultra light, ultra sharp, they resist a good amount of being left wet. They look amazing! I finally had prep night last night and it was therapeutic using those blades to chop veggies and just contemplate things. Thank you so much again!”
“Wow dude. This thing is absolutely gorgeous! I’m speechless. Having a knife custom made was a great experience I hope to enjoy again someday. This thing is a work of art. I almost feel bad using it...almost 😁...!”
“Got it today and gave it to him. I gotta say it looks even better in person! My father absolutely loves his knife, and I can’t thank you enough for something so amazing. Now I gotta get something for myself!”
“Wow, wow, wow!! I’m totally impressed. Very nice balance, nice handle, and I love the red liner!! Thank you! Totally love it.”
