Beyond simple tools: fine instruments and professional works of art.
Thanks, J. N. !
Hi Jay!
I am trying to think of a way to describe these two knife sets but words like beautiful or magnificent
do not do them justice. I have read many different replies on your site from people that say the pictures
do not do them justice and they are sooo right! It seems odd in a way to describe a knife as beautiful
but that is exactly what they are. They are truly impressive to hold in my hand and marvel at the beauty
of not only the appearance but also the exquisite workmanship you have put into these knives. I cannot
imagine how you manage to make such a seamless transition on the handle from the bolsters to the gemstone.
The blades are perfect! They are unbelievably sharp, and the mirror finish really sets them apart from
all other kitchen knives.
The Concordia is really an awesome knife and this is where the pictures cannot relay the true feel and size of the knife. The extended front bolster on it is perfect. I do not know why all knives are not made using that feature. It really adds to not only the safety in handling the knife but also the control while cutting. But, that is just me. I know a lot of people may not care for that but I would urge all looking for a knife like this to consider it.
The Sanchez is equally awesome and will be the go-to knife for the daily kitchen cutting tasks. The gemstone handle on each of these is really beautiful. The amethyst and lapis lazuli handles are truly one of a kind on knives like this.
I have already shown both of these sets to people and the first word they all use is beautiful. It is almost deceiving that something so beautiful can be so functional as a working tool for the kitchen. I take some pride also that I know they are personalized by me for my family. They are unique and will never be duplicated!
I wish I could brag about my new knife sets to all of your clients and show them what awesome sets they are but they will have to settle for pictures. I hope they all remember that the real thing in their hand is so much better! Thank you Jay.
You have made two great sets of chef’s kitchen knives that will used and passed down in my family for many years to come.
