Chef/Owner, Daniel Humm of New York’s Eleven Madison Park and NoMad restaurants came to us looking for an elegantly-designed steak knife option for his restaurants. His requirements for the knife were simple and precise: both in the blade and in-hand.
His last request was the knife be sourced locally.The result is nothing short of stunning. The handle, a resilient composite linen material called Micarta, featuring a cross-grain pattern which will develop a unique patina over time and is perfectly integrated into the high-carbon stainless steel blade.
The composition of the blade employs a very similar manufacturing process to the well-known red Swiss Army Knives and was selected because of its superior edge retention and surgical-grade slicing ability. The knife now graces the tables of Eleven Madison Park.
