Each knife has been hand crafted by Nuriel in his workshop located in a small town near the Sea of Galilee. While his custom and made-to-order knives typically have a months long waitlist, he’s made this limited series of paring knives especially for the Nuriel x Kaiten collaboration. Offering the Kaiten community an upgrade to their cooking experience.
About Nuriel
Nuriel’s love for steel and efficiency is rooted in his inseparable ties to food and family. Within the thriving kitchens he worked at in his youth, he patiently studied hearty flavors and the art of accuracy. Four years as a loyal line cook taught him to break down a whole fish in divinity, plate with grace and devote himself to the lengthy and learning process of precision.
From Line Cook to Bladesmith
After years of immersing himself in the craft of cooking, feeling ready to move on, he removed his chef's apron and replaced it with a worn-in leather apron, belonging to his late grandfather. A reverse progress, starting from the fine plated dish, marinating in the exercise of bladesmithing, and in a hopeful prediction, a future in which he tends to a garden of his own.
Nuriel's grandfather, once a blue collar entreprenuer, left behind heavy tools and a legacy worth perpetuating. Coming with fresh eyes, he picked up his grandfather's forsaken tools collecting dust in the corner of his small and endearing home and got to work.
His community stood by him in the process of growing. Giving him a call when unique tree branches were found laying on the ground or by supporting his business purchasing a blade for their own kitchens.
Nuriel's knives are a product of these legacy and community. Simultaneously continuing the journey started two generations before him and forging a new path foward. Today, he continues to refine his process and grow his business, adding tool and skills while keeping the intimate nature of his craft
