I still recall my little blue pouch with red felt lining, where I kept a small collection of pocket knives all neatly aligned. As a teenager I had several restaurant jobs, where I was first exposed to using knives as tools for earning a living.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font_8 wixui-rich-text__text\"\u003eAt 18 I moved to Phoenix and attended the Arizona Culinary Institute. While working at my first fine dining restaurant, the chefs gifted all the line cooks with Japanese chef knives and a communal set of sharpening stones. Little did I know this would lead to a lifelong career in knives.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font_8 wixui-rich-text__text\"\u003eI quickly became more interested in knives and sharpening, than food or cooking. This led to a job at one of the best resources in the US for high quality Japanese cutlery, and I spent the next decade sharpening, studying, repairing, and selling knives.\u003cspan class=\"wixGuard wixui-rich-text__text\"\u003e​\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font_8 wixui-rich-text__text\"\u003eMy continuous quest for knife knowledge led to an introduction to American Bladesmith Society “Master Bladesmith,” Ray Rybar. Under Ray’s tutelage, I began my education in knife-making and bladesmithing and instantly fell in love with the craft.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font_8 wixui-rich-text__text\"\u003eMy influences are Japanese knives and knives of the American West. I’m working towards achieving a “Journeyman Smith” and then “Master Smith” rating with the American Bladesmith Society.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font_8 wixui-rich-text__text\"\u003eI strive to create knives that perfectly balance function and artistry, and I look forward to building you a high performance tool that will stand the test of time.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Corey Dunlap","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47518044717331,"sku":"","price":1100.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0840\/1187\/6627\/products\/4CDFront.jpg?v=1699403937","url":"https:\/\/nwkw-redesign-staging.myshopify.com\/products\/corey-dunlap-custom-chef-knife","provider":"NWKW Redesign Staging","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
