Meet The Makers

Rick Petko - Pennsylvania

A long-time metalworker and blacksmith with experience in all areas of the trade, Rick Petko, well known for his time on the Discovery Channel's American Chopper series, has created top-quality custom kitchen knives since 2006 at his shop in Pennsylvania's Pocono Mountains. Developing his own nickel-clad san mai, working in Damasteel stainless damascus, and experimenting with design and production techniques spanning multiple styles, Rick continually expands his repertoire and tests the limits of his comfort zone. His chef knives, from high-polish nakiris to thin and nimble gyutos, are always as beautiful as they are functional. And you can be certain that each is made for daily use above all else.
