Not exactly your average kitchen knife… 🔪👀

One of our Apache Serbian Chef's Knives getting a fresh edge before heading out to its new owner.

Big blade. Fresh edge. Ready for the BBQ.

One chicken. One bone. One nasty chip. 🐔🔪

This beautiful handmade carbon-steel knife from Irish knifemaker came into Norvic with a rather nasty chip in the cutting edge.

The culprit? A roast chicken. 🍗

While carving, the blade accidentally struck a bone pretty hard. With such a fine, thinly ground edge, it unfortunately took a chunk out of the steel.

Fortunately, there was plenty of life left in it.

We carefully ground out the damage, reprofiled and sharpened the edge, then finished it by hand with 1/2 micron diamond compound.

The rest of the knife got some attention too. Metal polish and buffing brought back some of the blade's lustre, while mineral oil and beeswax gave the wooden handle a bit of TLC.

A fair bit of work, but absolutely worth saving.

Huge respect to Hugo Byrne for the original craftsmanship. Always a pleasure to work on something a little special.

Back to carving chickens. Just mind the bones this time, Jon. 😂💪🔪

Got a favourite knife that's seen better days? That's where we come in.

Geometry of your knife matters as much as how sharp it is...

Testing out a new potential model for Norvic always requires many stages, but a simple onion slice says a lot about the knife.

So far so good 👌🔪

👀🔪🔪🔪👀

Been waiting patiently for an example of what happens over time when using harsh carbide drag through sharpeners, and today I had the perfect knife when a new customer dropped off his lovely collection to be sharpened!

This expensive Wüsthof had a wavy edge created by prolonged use of those demonic devices, and required some fairly heavy grinding to re-establish a proper edge geometry. A honing rod and a leather strop are a much better method of maintaining edges if the quick little and often method is your preference.

Not every knife arrives ready to leave Norvic.

A recent batch of Navajos had an issue with the factory grind towards the tip. They'd still cut... and plenty of people probably wouldn't have noticed.

But we noticed.

So every one was reprofiled, refined and finished here before being sent out.

Final check on this one: 125 BESS. That's sharp sharp!

Sourcing a good knife is only part of the job. What matters to us is the knife that actually leaves the workshop.

Apparently eggs were the real challenge this week. 😂

Shells, escapees, questionable slicing and one egg sacrificed in the pursuit of an unnecessarily cinematic opening shot.

Crispy appears to be the only one who understood the assignment. And Boydy… we're still waiting chap. 👀

Still, no runny yolk required to demolish this one.
