Big milestones deserve something real.
This past year we hit some business goals I’m genuinely proud of, and because we absolutely cooked, I wanted to mark it with something that actually carries weight, history, craft, and intention.
These are three custom Santoku chef’s knives, hand-crafted and forged by
@jmod_knives right here in Phoenix.
I found Justin’s craft through Instagram after seeing his work using local Arizona cactus skeletons, including saguaro and instantly knew I had to work with him on something. To make these even more personal, I asked him to use material from a saguaro arm we once used as a prop during an original Arizona Coyotes media day.
That means the handle on these knives is likely 100+ years old, paired with a blade hand-forged to last another 100.
Crafted in a backyard shop, with obsessive care and respect for the process. Tools built with intention, for cooking, for creating, and for reminding us why we build things the right way.
Grateful for the work, the people, and Arizona roots that run deep, check out his work and give him a follow
