Grant's Knives

Just curious what type of knives Grant uses in the videos, I have several different chef knives but am always in the mood to get another one. Love the website, keep up the great work!

Okay Grant, now you need to show them the super cool new knife ;-)

Those are gorgeous knives... Since I've gotten into cooking, I've found myself with knife envy way too often.

Thanks Grant and Chris I really appreciate it - those are all beautiful knives, I look forward to the hours of distractions that await me researching each of them. And what is this "cool new knife"?

Here are some photos of the ones Chris Young is talking about.

The maker of the Wooly Mammoth handle one is Hiroo Itou from Fukui City

the other is by Tsuneo Yoshida

Wow I think i would display those instead of using them. Very nice!

Oh man, I own way, way too many knives and now you've got me carving more! Unfair! Wow, those are gorgeous ... Curses on you Grant! LOL

Watched a recorded episode of Top Chef (Seattle) the other day and the judge for the early challenge was Master Blade smith Bob Kramer. Very interesting ...

Whisky Tango Foxtrot! What is that handle made out of?

Petrified wooly mammoth molar is what Grant told me. It feels amazing.

I believe it is simply molar. They are not petrified, frozen then thawed. And are stabilized with clear epoxy under vacuum to fill any cracks. They are the "scales" of the tooth, or the cutting surface of the tooth which has more diversity in natural material. They are cut from the surface lengthwise. The teeth are naturally textured/layered to provide efficient grinding and resist wear and tear while chewing on grasses. Super beautiful. They are surprisingly available. It is estimated that there are over 150,000 frozen Wooly Mammoths in Siberia today along. There many more in other parts of the world as well. Wild.
