The Story
A trained chef, sculptor and talented artist, Don Carlos Andrade designs and builds highly functional, aesthetically beautiful, one-of-a-kind knives for use in the kitchen. From new style French chef knives to gyutos to paring knives like this one, his experience in the kitchen guides each design, while his work in the arts results in exquisitely finished pieces.

This is my second Andrade knife. The knives are thoughtfully and skillfully made. I enjoy the patina process of the 1095 steel and ease of stropping to maintain the edge. It's very enjoyable to be connected regularly with such a tangible and functional work of art.
