Florentine Kitchen Knives are characterized by their fine ground blades which blend the traditional characteristics of the Western approach to steel; toughness and ease of sharpening with a fine thin edge more commonly associated with Japanese knives, they cut smoothly and sharpen easily with a great grippy feel on their unique stacked leather and micarta handles. 

Florentine Kitchen Knives was founded in 2012 by industrial designer Tomer Botner. In 2016 he was joined by his wife Noam Blumenthal, a fashion designer. The brand started in the neighborhood of Florentine, south-west Tel-Aviv, after which the business takes its name.  In 2018, the first workshop opened in FKK’s new home of Barcelona, Spain. 

Stainless steel option with Sandvik 14c28n Swedish stainless steel blade and black on white stacked micarta and leather handle with brass pommel and ferrule. Similar to AEB-L, Sandvik 14c28n is a high-carbon stainless steel known for being tough and sharpenable with high corrosion resistance and edge retention. 14c28n's improved  sharpenability remedies complaints that older Western stainless knives received about being hard to keep sharp.

This is a stainless steel knife. It should be hand washed and towel dried. Dishwasher use will result in degraded edge and handle. Consistent long term exposure to moisture can lead to oxidation.

Use on a quality wooden cutting board will help the knife stay sharper for longer. Use on hard surfaces like plates and bamboo will reduce the edge life and can result in edge damage.

We recommend hand sharpening on whetstones. We have found that most western knives perform best with a medium finish starting around 1000 grit. Avoid pull through sharpeners and non-water cooled mechanized sharpening. Steel honing rods work well with this knife.
