Fleniken, Chris (CF Knives)

Chris Fleniken is a classically trained chef and has been working in a kitchen for most of his life; knife making just seemed like a natural progression. “I use the knives I make in the kitchen. In fact, I make all my knives for myself, just happen to sell a few to keep my hobby growing.” Originally learned knife making from famed maker Sean Kendrick, but has had the unique opportunity to work with several knife makers he’s looked up to. “Up until now, my designs have been all over the place, but feel focusing on kitchen knives is my future.”
