- 1/1s, while every knife is slightly different there will usually be a few very different pieces on the table.

Cleaning and Maintenance?
- I recommend WD-40, if you're using for food preparation I recommend Mineral Oil (Food Safe). Soap and water to clean the handle wrap.
Sharpening?
- Knives come sharp, with a hard wearing convex edge. This edge can be maintained with a leather strop and a good compound. Can be sharpened freehand or on a fixed system. Some people maintain the convex edge, others sharpen to a traditional edge bevel. The correct answer is your preference.
Certificate of Authenticity?
- Part of iterative design and seeing what works has been the evolution of the COAs. I keep extensive records on every knife made and am currently working on a standardised COA. If you own a knife and would like a copy of the records for your knife please get in contact.
