Limited Edition 'King Blade' Chef Knife

Our Limited 'King Blade' edition custom chef is one of our most exclusive chef knife blades available. The OU-31 blades are individually hand-forged to our design specifications by the Japanese master blade-maker and grinder, Kiku Matsuda. No two are identical.

Kiku’s trademark subtle Damascus pattern make this an absolutely impressive looking blade; his trademark ‘magic hand’ Appleseed grind makes it incredibly sharp.

Each year we offer a distinctive, highly collectible chef's exclusive. We are now accepting orders for a very limited quantity of these rare and special blades for 2027 delivery. 

With the LE "King Blade" (as seen in the Home & Style magazine from the Robb Report) Chef, you have your choice of handle shape and decorative finishes, including a choice of mokume, nickel-silver or brass fittings. Gregg individually hand-contours each handle to create a unique and distinctive look so that every piece is an original work of art.

Available with a handcrafted premium koa keepsake box, or handcrafted premium koa presentation box only. We can also add a stand to sit in the presentation box for an extra charge.

Because these blades are so beautiful, we’ve saved our most desirable reserve stock of exceptionally rare, old growth koa to use for the handles and premium boxes. This wood has the characteristic koa chatoyance and tight curl that makes it such a stunning wood choice.

Available with many customization options, including bolster, handle design, and storage options.

All craftsmanship is fully guaranteed.
