In collaboration with Ocean Wise, the owner of the Vancouver Aquarium and leaders in marine research, education, and preservation, comes this beautiful limited edition Kori Artisan 8" Chef Knife with a stunning deep ocean-blue micarta handle. To support this important non-profit organization and its mission, $20 from every purchase of each Kori Artisan 8" Blue Chef Knife will go directly to Ocean Wise. Only 100 of these stunning serialized knives have been produced.

The journey started about two and a half years ago for Andre & Qua-Fung Eng. It started with a piece of paper and a question: “what if?” The goal was to simply to design something that brought together the best elements of everything we’d ever seen and used, and create the ultimate fusion knife. One that offered the beauty and sharpness of Japanese knives, but the durability and utility found in German knives. One that put our combined 50 years of experience to use. 

Kori Artisan knives are handcrafted for beauty, function, and superior performance. Taking over 60 steps to complete each knife, Kori Artisan uses advanced materials and crafting techniques to ensure your knives last you years. Each blade features a Japanese VG10 core, surrounded by 36 layers of hammered steel to create that beautiful layered Damascus pattern. Finished with a riveted linen micarta handle for ultimate comfort and durability, with a traditional mosaic pin and end cap.  Every Kori knife has been crafted to the highest standards of quality and workmanship that’s why each is backed by a lifetime warranty covering any defects in material or workmanship
