Haburn Knives - Handmade Custom Kitchen Knives and Tools

Handmade Custom Kitchen Knives and Tools

I cooked for at least a hundred people and can't tell you how often someone made a comment about the knives.  People loved the damascus, and of course the beautiful handles, but what really drew attention was the integral....you have really perfected that.  So thanks again - I really appreciate your knife grind and integral skill, but also your integrity and professionalism as a maker.  I will happily jump on the end of your queue again whenever you're ready.  (I think it's time for a slicer!)

Just wanted to say Thanks for doing what you do so amazingly well and never being unwilling to ‘stretch the boundaries’ … it is certainly a privilege to work with you (although I struggle with the lack of added value I bring to the table …).  Super excited about the future of Haburn Knives especially given the glimpses I have been a small part of (My “Haburn Family” grows to four)!

Ian, I just wanted to let you know now that I have put both knives to work numerous times that I love them even more. They live up to and exceed my expectations in every way. Although a somewhat overused cliché, I can think of no better description than functional art, a phrase they absolutely live up to - beautiful, useful, exceptionally crafted, and delivering superior performance. Truly perfect. Thank you.
-Neal B, USA

Ian, the knives are spectacular, even nicer than I imagined, and my expectations were already through the roof. Thank you so much for your craftsmanship and artistry. As with the last two, the performance is off the charts...I know when a knife feels and cuts just like I want it to, and these excel in every aspect. Thanks for putting me back on the books, much appreciated and I look forward to what I hope becomes a spring tradition for me...

I am speechless!  Everything about the blade is more than I had hoped for!  So very soon now I can whisper to myself “my precious”  - and can’t say enough about that gorgeous Pin!
-Michael M, USA


"Ian...HOLY SMOKES!!!
I am nearly speechless from both of those!
You have out done yourself....
Thanks so much for your incredible artisanship"
-Kevin D, USA


...Ian! Are you...kidding me? I’m speechless! I was very sure that I would very pleased with the knife, but you just exceeded all my expectations.

Ian, I wanted to let you know that the knife arrived and it is awesome. It’s the second knife of yours I have. The first is on the large size and this one is more moderate. They are both amazingly well balanced and a dream to use. The visual design on this one is amazing. It turned out even better than I expected. Thanks for the great work!

Since I received the San Mai Gyuto a few months back, it has been my everyday go-to knife for much of my kitchen work. I am finding it to be a true performer and a joy to use.
Now that I have experienced Haburn quality, I want to put that petty knife back in the order.

-Mike M, USA


Got your stunningly beautiful knife, and of all the ones I've gotten, the nice package with the case, covering, and documentation was the most thoughtful and most professional I have yet to receive.
-Charles B, USA


I love the new knife, it’s a beast, just falls through food. Thanks Ian.
-Del G, USA

I’ve been using this knife for a couple days at work now and I just want to let you know I absolutely love it. The weight is awesome, it stays really sharp and it’s just beautiful. Thanks so much, keep doing what you’re doing!

Ian, the knife just came in and it. Is. Breathtaking. And I mean that literally because I honestly gasped when I saw it. I can't tell you how satisfied I am with how the damascus patterning came out. It's more than I was expecting. The contrast is amazing and really shows regardless of how much lighting is on it. Everything else came out great as well. The Mammoth tooth, the amboyna on both the handle and the saya, and the abalone are all fantastic. Thanks again for everything Ian, you've created a new family heirloom for me that I'll have for the rest of my life. Thank you!! -Allen D, USA

Just wanted to let you know that it arrived. Really, the knife is great in every way. Beautiful and functional. That ironwood/mammoth combo is wonderful. Love the weight and the balance. Food release is better than expected. Comfortable in hand, and a joy to use. Many thanks for what you do.
-Jon H, USA

Wow - what an experience using my new petty this evening. Such a joy to cut with that knife - so beautiful, light, and balanced; slices through raw carrots like warm butter. A combination of spectacular art, science, and wizardry!
Been cooking for many years but never this way; takes the experience to another level!!

-Paul A, USA

Package received. Wow. It met every expectation. In all seriousness...you're in the top echelon of makers. Thank you for your craftsmanship and passion. This will likely become my primary knife. The handle is perfect.
-Frank D, USA

Hi Ian, Art work received! I intend to use this not just admire it, and on its maiden stir fry prep it could not have been more enjoyable. Thanks again and I will cherish this forevermore.
-Gregg B, USA

Hello Ian, I’ve had the Scimitar for two weeks and I still cannot get over it’s shear audacity, beauty and stunning craftsmanship!!!! It truly is a work of art!!! I now have a total of six of your knives…. and Love them all!!!
-Robert C, USA

Just letting you know this is still an amazing knife. I have many knives and try my best to use them all, but every time I grab this one. I am always surprised at just how great of a knife it is. Just passing along deserved kudos.
