Every Knife is made by hand
Every Knife at Jesse James Culinary is made by hand. We cut no corners and spare no detail.
We start with a sheet of AEB-L (high grade knife stainless steel) and run the profile of each knife with our waterjet, then its off to the surface grinder to bring it to the very precise +/- .001 tolerance needed.
Our HAAS CNC machine does the thumb serrations, logo, granton scallops and fuller. We then heat treat each knife in our kiln getting them to 61 rockwell.
They get their final prep-for-finish through a grueling fine sanding by hand to meet our stringent QC standards.
They are then brought to their respective finishes; Engine turned by hand, which promotes non-friction and looks classic. Stone washed in-house that provides a raw edgy finsh that will withstand the test of abuse and time. Triple Black is our rich, sinister and stealthy black nitride finish.
A final sharpen by Jesse and they’re off to you.
