Rolin Knives 145mm Petty 52100 Walnut & Richlite

Hand made petty featuring a flat ground wide beveled 52100 blade with a kurouchi finish. The hexagonal wa-handle is made from walnut with a richlite ferrule. All aspects of this knife were meticulously heat-treated, ground, machined, worked, shaped, and fit with an incredible amount of detail and intention by Nick Rolin. Originally from the Bay Area, Nick's blade shapes and styles are inspired by his years as a fine-dining line cook that preceded his time spent in NYC as a bartender after earning a degree in Sustainable Agriculture from UCSC. After a weekend knife making class in 2016, Nick began making knives for friends and the eventual demand lead to returning to the Bay Area in 2022 to make knives full-time. We have been able to test a few of Nick's knives and were impressed not only with the craftsmanship and aesthetics but also the edge performance, cutting feel and sharpenability of the knives. We are lucky to have Nick in our backyard and are proud to be able to introduce his work to our knife community.
