Why you’ll love these knives

A blade as thin as a piece of paper and stays sharp

Our blades have a high-carbon steel core and only measure 2.5mm at their widest point, giving you minimal cutting resistance as you glide through food.

About half the weight of a classic German chef knife

Well suited for rock-chopping, push cuts, mincing and more, our knives are lightweight and perfectly balanced – they won’t tire out your hands or wrists.

Eye-catching design you’ll want to show off to everyone

Three-layers of hand-forged steel reveal unique patterns and designer Mazzuccelli acetate shines, making this a tool you’ll want to leave on the counter.

Hand forged, stays sharp

Recycled, natural materials

Lightweight and ergonomic

Made by hand in Quebec

We forge our own three-layer steel

We use a technique called San Mai, Japanese for ‘three layers’, which enables us to achieve a razor-sharp cutting edge without compromising durability or visual delight.

1 – High-carbon cutting edge

We use 26C3 ‘Spicy White’ for the core. Because of this steel’s properties and finer grain, we can grind this down to a paper-thin edge of only 5/1000ths of an inch, or 0.127mm

2 – Nickel spacer

A thin layer of nickel helps the steels fuse into one solid blade and keeps the core's carbon where it belongs. When we etch the blade, it shines through as a fine silver line tracing the wave.

3 – Stainless steel outer layer

Resistant to corrosion and will stay looking fresh. Stainless is a softer steel than high-carbon, which means it’s better at absorbing impact.

100% designed and built in Quebec, Canada

We're tired of factory-made, disposable things. We want to make objects that last, and that carry the love and care we put into them.

So we make every knife from start to finish. We forge the steel, hold it and shape it, and watch its character reveal itself as the pattern comes through. Each one is made to be used every day and loved for years.

We believe in bringing making back to Canada. That's why every HON knife is made in our workshop in Tomifobia, Quebec, and always will be.
