Metalwork By Meola
This handmade Chef Knife from Colorado bladesmith Akiva Meola is built for performance, comfort, and everyday utility. Forged from 1084 high-carbon steel and heat treated to a Rockwell hardness of 62, it holds a sharp, reliable edge that’s ready for serious kitchen work. The heel height sits around 52mm, giving you great board clearance for a small blade and making it a versatile companion for prep tasks that don’t require a full-size chef’s knife.
The handle features a 3/4 hidden tang and a comfortable Western profile, shaped from curly silver maple stabilized in deep blue resin. After sculpting, Akiva flame-fades the finish by hand, giving it subtle depth and character. A white Corian ferrule meets a mirror-polished choil and spine, both rounded for added comfort during use.
Each knife includes a navy kydex sheath formed to fit, finished with polished brass grommets. Whether you're working at the board or on the move, this blade is built to handle real work with style.
NOTE: All processes are done in house and by hand. This means there are slight variations among the blades.
NOTE: Blade may rust if left wet, this is NOT a stainless steel.
Balanced and precise, the Metalwork by Meola 1084 Carbon 150mm Petty Knife is perfect for detailed prep work and in-between tasks. Watch the video to see it in action!
