Got an email from bestie last week...

Paying the Steel Fee. Sometimes only to one knife, sometimes (eventually) to each one in the set.

Only time will tell, but when @dduane or I buy a blade for the kitchen (or indeed when I sharpen the ones we've got) we always make sure we know where the Band-Aids are.

When I replied to the mail, I reminded Charles to give Sandra a penny so the new knives don't sever their relationship.

Superstitions are funny things.

FIRST COURSE - KNIVES

(or at least the ones I recognised from the TV-show so far)

mads mikkelsen by kenneth willardt for vanity fair italy, 2015 - aka my favorite shoot of his.

i apologize.

1. Spyderco Harpy

• appears in Hannibal season 3 in Italy .ೃ࿐

The Harpy was designed as a knife for seamen, featuring a karambit style blade that magically cuts right through rope, the serration lending a hand to the task.

Additionally, the Harpy boasts a detailed tip, which can chew through a manner of different materials, probably one of the main reasons why Hannibal found it handy for different...matters. To sum it up: This is not one of his kitchen knives, but rather one he used as a pocket knife in all different kind of situations.

Originally the japanese Spyderco Harpy was designed to accommodate the needs of commercial fishermen. The hawksbill blade is modeled after the talon of the Harpy eagle, allowing for a deliberate pulling cut where the object does not slip off the end of the edge. The hollow-ground blade incorporates SpyderEdge serrations and a thick spine for support. The handle is made of stainless steel with a drying vent, perfect for Hannibal and his exquisite taste…and of course correspondingly expensive. A good 200 euros for this fine tool, everybody. But he seems to be rolling in money, so no problem for our favourite cannibal.

2. Chroma Type 301 style by F. A. Porsche

• appear in various episodes as Hannibal’s kitchen knives .ೃ࿐

To be honest I really fell in love with the Spyderco Harpy and didn’t quite think anything could change that. But. When I tell you the design…omg. The Chroma Type 301 knife series was brought to life by F.A. Porsche (yup, the german car guy) and the chef of the decade, Jörg Wörther (austrian chef).

Japanese knives have achieved global recognition for their quality, as the Japanese hold a long tradition in metallurgy. The Japanese metallurgists have elevated the forging and sharpening of the blade into a form of art for hundreds of years, since the era of the notorious Katana swords. On the other hand, Europeans and Americans also make excellent knives, often characterized by superior ergonomics and design, but rarely distinguished for the hardness and sharpness of their blade.

The type 301 knife series by Chroma bridges the gap between Japanese tradition and the European design, this series standing out for its unique design and practical function. Porsche and Wörther closely worked together in order to develop the final shape of the handle, which is optimized for maximum usability. The result is a precision cutting tool. Each knife is carefully weighted to ensure perfect balance in the hand and in combination with the highly ergonomic handle, it feels like an extension of the user’s hand. The Chroma type 301 knives follow faithfully the Japanese philosophy, which dictates a knife to be lightweight and flexible. They are made of high-quality Japanese 301 steel, a relatively lightweight material which has a 56-58 hardness rating in the Rockwell hardness scale. This renders the type 301 knives harder than most of the non-Japanese knives and among the hardest knives within their price range. The increased hardness allows the knife to maintain its sharpness longer and also to slice better.Even though the Chroma type 301 knives are mass produced, they are carefully razorsharp sharpened by the hand of a master. Quality control is performed on one-to-one basis and not through random sampling. And by the way…did I mention the extraordinary design.

3. Kai Shun Knives

• appear in various episodes as Hannibal’s kitchen knives .ೃ࿐

Before Shun Cutlery was established in the western market, most people were used to heavy European-style kitchen knives. With Shun’s entry into the marketplace, home cooks and professional chefs alike were introduced to the lightweight precision of fine Japanese cutlery. Thinner blades, sharper edges, and lighter weight gave Shun a high-performance edge that the heavier knives couldn’t match. Each Shun still takes at least 100 handcrafted steps to complete and Shun remains true to its ancient heritage of quality. At the same time, Shun takes advantage of thoroughly modern, premium materials and state-of-the-art technology to provide that traditional quality to millions of professional chefs and avid home cooks throughout the world.

Today, Shun has become one of the most well-known names in kitchen cutlery. It has won awards for innovation and quality. It has been admired and emulated. With new styles, new materials, and an ongoing dedication to the spirit of innovation, Shun will continue to provide Japanese kitchen cutlery of outstanding beauty, impeccable precision, and the very highest performance.

4. Global Knives

• appear in various episodes as Hannibal’s kitchen knives .ೃ࿐

Global G Series knives are typically put together in what's called a three piece construction. The blade is stamped out of sheets of steel of a proprietary stainless steel alloy, while the two handles are created and welded together separately. The blade and handle are then welded together into one solid piece of stainless steel.

What makes these Global knives a bit unusual is that they start off empty. The blades are welded on without a tang and the handles are actually hollow. Instead, to maintain balance, they are filled with a very precise amount of sand.

Now it's quite unusual and you might just write this off as Japan being Japan and doing things differently because...well, they're Japan, but it seems to work very well for them.

The ability to inject a precise amount of weight (sand, in this case) as needed directly into the knife has led to them getting a reputation or having very precise and excellently balanced knives across their range of products.

That said, ergonomics are always personal.

Global G Series knives tend to feel very lightweight and evenly balanced. Some people tend to prefer a knife that is more weighted to the back for a firmer grip, or to the front for chopping action. This is the classic global knife version, but of course there are various other series one can discover. Unfortunately I am not able to tell the exact version Hannibal uses in the show by just watching...if anyone has an idea let me know!!!

How to sharpen a kitchen knife correctly.

How to sharpen a kitchen knife correctly.

Mastering the Art of Sharpening Japanese Kitchen Knives Properly sharpening your Japanese kitchen knives is essential for precision in the culinary realm. Japanese knives, known for their craftsmanship, come in various types like santoku, cleavers, and damascus steel blades. Follow these steps to ensure your knives stay razor-sharp: 1. **Understand Your Knife Type**: Different Japanese knives serve distinct purposes. Identify your knife type to determine the sharpening angle and technique. 2. **Select the Right Sharpener**: Invest in a quality sharpener suitable for Japanese knives. Whetstones are popular for maintaining the delicate edges of these precision instruments. 3. **Angle Matters**: Japanese knives typically have a sharper angle. Maintain a 15 to 20-degree angle while sharpening to preserve the blade's integrity. 4. **Consistent Strokes**: Whether using a whetstone or a honing rod, maintain consistent strokes along the entire length of the blade. This ensures an even edge. 5. **Honing for Maintenance**: Regularly hone your Japanese knives with a honing rod to realign the blade. This quick step keeps the edge sharp between sharpening sessions. 6. **Damascus Blades Care**: If you own a Japanese damascus knife, pay extra attention. Clean and dry the blade immediately after use to prevent corrosion and maintain the intricate pattern. 7. **Handwashing Only**: Avoid dishwashers; handwash your Japanese knives with mild soap and warm water. This preserves the blade and handle materials. 8. **Proper Storage**: Store your Japanese knives in a knife block or on a magnetic strip. Avoid tossing them into drawers to prevent unnecessary wear and tear. 9. **Seek Professional Help**: If uncertain, consult a professional knife sharpener or the manufacturer for advice. Japanese knives are an investment; it's worth ensuring they receive proper care. 10. **Regular Inspections**: Periodically inspect your knives for nicks, chips, or any irregularities. Address these issues promptly to maintain optimal performance. By following these guidelines, you'll not only keep your Japanese kitchen knives in prime condition but also elevate your culinary experience with precision and finesse. Mastering the art of sharpening is key to unlocking the full potential of these exceptional blades.

Selecting the Perfect Hunting Knife: A Comprehensive Guide

A hunting knife is an indispensable tool for outdoor enthusiasts and avid hunters. It serves various purposes, including field dressing game and handling campsite tasks. With a wide array of hunting knives available, choosing the right one can be overwhelming. This blog post provides an in-depth guide to help you make an informed decision by exploring the key factors to consider, such as blade types, handle materials, and other important features.

Blade Types: a. Drop Point: The drop point blade is versatile and suitable for general hunting tasks. It features a curved spine and a durable point, providing excellent control for skinning, slicing, and precise cuts. b. Gut Hook: Designed specifically for field dressing, the gut hook blade has a sharpened hook on the spine. It allows for safe and easy gutting without puncturing the intestines. c. Clip Point: Ideal for detailed tasks like caping, the clip point blade has a concave curve and a sharp point, enabling precise and delicate cuts. d. Skinning Blade: The skinning blade, with its sweeping, curved edge, facilitates efficient hide removal from game animals while minimizing the risk of meat punctures.

Blade Materials: a. Stainless Steel: Stainless steel blades are popular among hunters due to their rust and corrosion resistance, durability, and ease of maintenance. They retain sharpness well. b. High Carbon Steel: High carbon steel blades offer exceptional strength and edge retention, making them suitable for heavy-duty tasks. However, they require regular maintenance to prevent rust. c. Damascus Steel: Damascus steel blades feature beautiful patterns created by layering different steel alloys. They are visually stunning, durable, and sharp.

Handle Materials: a. Wood: Wooden handles provide a traditional and visually appealing look. They offer a comfortable grip but require periodic maintenance to prevent cracking or warping. b. Rubber: Rubber handles provide a secure, non-slip grip, even in wet conditions. They are easy to clean and offer excellent durability and shock absorption. c. G10: Constructed from fiberglass soaked in resin, G10 handles are lightweight, durable, and resistant to moisture and chemicals. They provide a reliable grip in various weather conditions. d. Micarta: Micarta handles are made from layers of resin-soaked linen or paper. They are highly durable, moisture-resistant, and offer a comfortable grip.

Tang Types: a. Full Tang: Full tang knives have blades that extend the entire length of the handle, providing superior strength and balance for heavy-duty tasks. b. Partial Tang: Also known as hidden tang, this design features a blade that does not extend the full length of the handle. Partial tang knives are lighter but may be less robust.

Additional Features: a. Blade Length: Choose a blade length based on your specific needs and preferences. Shorter blades offer maneuverability, while longer blades provide better cutting power. b. Sheath: A quality sheath is essential for safe storage and easy carrying of your hunting knife. Look for a durable, secure sheath that allows for convenient access. c. Blade Edge: Decide between a plain edge or a serrated edge based on your requirements. Plain edges offer precision and ease of sharpening, while serrated edges excel at cutting through tough materials.

Conclusion: Selecting the right hunting knife is crucial for a successful hunting experience. By considering factors such as blade type, materials, handle construction, tang type, and additional features, you can find a hunting knife that suits your needs. Remember to prioritize durability, functionality, and comfort to ensure a reliable tool that will serve you well in the great outdoors. Enjoy your hunting adventures!
