We decided to create a small serie called A-73 after we won the price for our A-73 legacy knife. The award we won is the Red Dot Award 2024. Its a huge milestone for us as we are a pretty small company and we would never dream to win this price.
There is also few knife companies in the world that have got a price in the Red Dot Award and now we are one of them. :-D
It will be official 10 of October 2024 but we are soft launching our A-73 now as it have been pretty many people asking for them :-)

The handle is made of olive wood for it smoothness. We use our St650 powder steel (you could read more about it on our homepage or below) and use a classical pattern in our blade. Compare to the Legacy knife that have a wave pattern.
And we used pretty high sand pressure so the pattern be more visual. But also make the blade have a little more texture.

ST650 powder steel is a new steel type me and my partners have developed. 
ST650 powder steel is tested with the

"In the A-30 serie I have gone back to the roots of being a chef. When you work in kitchens you most likely hold your knife more on the blades then the handles. 
This serie have been designed to be comfortable to chop for hours. The balance is also higher up on the blade compare to our other knives. 
It have a very soft bolster and hard polished on the end of the blade next to the handle so you will not have pain in you finger after
you have worked with the knife for many hours." 

This handle on our A-30 serie is pretty slim 2,4x2,2cm on its thickets spot on the handle.
And is more ment to hold on the blade. So if you are use to hold your hands just on the handle this knife might not be to you. 
Its more a Japanese style of knife. 

The core of the blade is a Aus-10 steel and has a hardness of 60HRC. The other bearings are made of stainless steel 316/316l and together they have been vacuum-treated. This means that the sharpness lasts a long time with easier knife care.

The walnut handle has gone through a vacuum and clue infuse treatment, so its very hard.

This knife is our Red Dot award 2024 winning knife!
To win this Red Dot award is a huge milestone for us as we are a pretty small company and we would never dream to win this price.
There is also few knife companies in the world that have got a price in the Red Dot Award and now we are one of them. :-D
It will be official 10 of October 2024 but we are soft launching our A-73 legacy knife and the serie it belongs to now as it have been pretty many people asking for them :-)

My vision of our A-73 serie was to make each knife special balanced and comfy to work with but still have same feeling of holding them.
So for this chef knife the balance point is slightly up on the blade to make best high pinch kitchen knife. So if you just hold on the handle it will be a little front heavy.
It have a similar design as our A-30 kitchen knives. but weight 20g more and a little thicker.
So for those that hold pretty high up on the blade they would love this knife.
And very few knives are made like that in my opinion.
To succeed this we needed to make some adjustment inside the bolster that was pretty tricky.
As we didn´t wanted to shorter the handle too much.


The handle is made of olive wood for it smoothness. We use our St650 powder steel (you could read more about it on our homepage or below) and use a classical pattern in our blade. Compare to the Legacy knife that have a wave pattern.
