Our Story
Forje Knives is the passion project of our family—The Jahns. Our shared love of cooking and decades of experience in the machining industry made creating a knife we’d love to use in our own kitchen an obvious family project. Forje Knives is the intersection of our family’s love of cooking and our expertise in materials and precision manufacturing.
This shared project became another point of connection for our family. We spent hours and hours discussing every detail, researching materials, and testing prototypes together in the kitchen. It all comes back to the kitchen, the heart of every home. Forje Knives was born of our shared passion for cooking and our belief in the strong bonds that are forged over a meal.
Our History
THE BEGINNING
THOUGHTFUL DESIGN
Every detail of the Forje Chef Knife has been meticulously vetted. From the style of the blade, the wood selected for the handle, to the metal used to forge the steel. Years of conversation, research and testing have culminated in a blade we are proud to stand behind.
THE PROCESS
Quality Craftsmanship
Using our decades of experience in the machining industry, the Forje Chef Knife is precision cut and then hand finished by expert craftsmen. Our process ensures a strong blade from base to tip and offers a quality blend of edge retention, corrosion resistance, and toughness. With the Forje Chef Knife, we’ve combined the best of the different traditional knife styles to offer a blade that will be a joy to use for the rest of your life.
THE PRESENT
Shared Passion
We are proud to offer the Forje Chef Knife to culinary enthusiasts around the world. It's a knife we love to use in our own homes, and it’s incredible to share our passion with others. The Chef Knife is only the beginning.
I’ve had my Forje Knife for over a year now, and it’s become my go-to in the kitchen. Every friend who loves to cook and tries it always asks, ‘Where did you get this knife?’ I highly recommend the Forje to anyone who enjoys cooking.
