I’ve done the lion’s share of cooking in my house for the last 20 years, but have never owned a knife like this one. The blade is perfectly balanced to the handle, and the quality is exceptional. Whether I’m slicing the blade through a thick squash, or mincing cilantro with the tip, this is the perfect knife for the job. Exceptional quality, thoughtful design, and flawless manufacture, make this a five star knife.
Using this knife has made being in the kitchen more enjoyable!! Honestly I’m embarrassed that I now enjoy chopping carrots and onions ( how old am i???)

Though born and raised in Toronto, I spent much of my childhood at my grandparents' cottage in the Kawarthas enjoying the freedom and learning how to use my hands. In 2019 I studied blacksmithing at the Haliburton School of Art and Design.
From a young age my father played an integral role in my respect for and knowledge of tools. When he passed away, I decided to take this passion and pour it into the R-AEL Chef Knife, named after my late father. This labour of love reflects all the ideals I hold to when it comes to tools; Elegance, Ergonomics, and Function
