About the Maker
Cook (J. Cook Blades), Jeff
I started making knives while cheffing, and after more than thirty years in the world of kitchens, was still looking for that ""right blade"". My mentor at the time was Larry Pogreba, a master forger and blade smith. I made a lot of carbon steel and stainless blades, and though carbon made a great cutting tool, it still had the rust problem, and stainless didn't work for me, as it couldn't hold an edge like I wanted. David Boye, of Boye Knives, introduced me to cast Dendritic Cobalt. This metal is non corrosive, stain proof, and holds an edge better than any other. I found the metal that I wanted. I?d met and worked with master folder maker Tim Wright while I was still cheffing at our restaurant in Sedona, Arizona. Tim really opened my eyes to detail, and created the idea of becoming a full-time maker. We closed the restaurant, did a crazy summer running a fly-in fishing lodge in Alaska. I'm now making knives full time in my shop here in Oregon.
