Mastersmith Bill Burke visits Yoshindo Yoshihara's Forge |
Mastersmith Bill Burke’s first knives were made along side his father at the tender age of four or five. He continued to make knives through his youth, though it wasn't until 1998 that he started forging.
During the two decades that passed between high school and forging, Bill searched for a knife that could stand up to the everyday tasks that were a part of his life. He threw away, wore out and broke so many knives over the years that, had he invested the money that he spent on knives, he could have retired by this time!
In late August of 1998, while looking for a specific brand of gun powder, Bill happened across a copy of Knife Talk, by Mastersmith Ed Fowler. He stood in the store and leafed through this book for nearly an hour, fascinated by the idea that a knife was capable of doing the things that Mr. Fowler was claiming his knives could do. It seemed to him to border on the magical. He bought this book, eager to assimilate the knowledge that was between its covers.
At first, he read only the stories that had to do with the actual making of a knife. Then, realizing that there was an underlying message in the other stories, he read the whole book from cover to cover. Armed with this fresh knowledge and the fact that "I have been millwright and a welder and I can do anything with metal that anyone else can do" he went to the garage to forge a knife.
Forging remains one of Bill’s favorite aspects of knifemaking. The other is the community of knifemakers that Bill is an integral part of - he feels fortunate to have worked alongside knifemakers who do work he admires, and to also call them good friends. He names Tom Ferry’s engraving, Shane Taylor’s design work and damascus, Don Hanson’s bowies, and Wade Colter’s cleanliness of fit and finish as work he admires.
When his first knives failed to hold a good edge, he admitted it was time to swallow his pride and call for some words of advice from the author of "the knife forging Bible," Ed Fowler. Since that first call for help in 1998, Bill has been to Ed's home and shop in Riverton, Wyoming many times. These trips and their discussions resulted in marathon sessions of making, testing, and discussing knives. These trips developed the heat treating techniques that both Ed Fowler and Bill use today. The knives that he now makes are a result of those trips and many hours of forging and many, many failures - but in each failure, there has been a lesson learned. The knives that he now makes are the result of the hundreds of pounds of broken and bent test blades in his scrap pile.
These days, Bill forges high performance working knives. His focus is on performance and cutting ability -- continuing to experiment and develop the ultimate cutting edge. He enjoys working with steels such as 52100 carbon steel, 5160 carbon steel and his own Damascus. In 2008, after a trip to Japan, he began experimenting with tamahagane, oroshigane, and the stunning hamon that can be achieved by treating W2 steel.
Bill is well known for both his hunting knives and his kitchen knives. His work has been regularly featured in both Knives Illustrated and Blade Magazine. He was also featured on Evening Magazine in November of 2010.

What others say about Bill's work:
November of 1998, Bill Burke called me for the first time, our conversation lasted about 3 hours. I was highly impressed by the nature of the well thought out questions he asked. Obviously he had done his homework before calling. Bill is absolutely dedicated to expanding the frontiers of high performance working knives. Since that first conversation, we have talked knives for hundreds of hours, he has visited my shop many times, each time bringing with him knives that he had made for the purpose of experimentation. Bill keeps excellent notes as he experiments and takes no shortcuts that will sacrifice performance. All I have to do is mention a variable in the knife making process that I have questions about and he will work around the clock to find the answers. He has contributed significantly to the development of better knives both from my forge as well as his. I am highly honored that Bill has chosen to work with me, and firmly believe that he will carry the development of the high performance knife to higher levels than we know today.- Ed Fowler

This set has everything you need to properly take care of your knives.
Ceramic rods provide the best touch up possible between sharpening. By removing very little material, the blade is honed to a razor edge. Fine ceramic rods will hone a knife to the most optimal edge. However, if a considerable time has passed since honing or sharpening, a coarse rod is often required. Generally, a ceramic rod should be approximately the length of the longest knife that you will be honing. This set comes with a 12 inch fine ceramic rod.
Over time, ceramic rods build up metal particles that clog the abrasive surface. The Superaser cleans the surface of all ceramic rods so that they will continue to hone just like they did when they were new.
I was really excited when the folks over at ChefSteps (www.ChefSteps.com) told me about their favorite kitchen shears. Their recommendations are always pretty spot on. (If you don't know about ChefSteps, go over and check them out!)
MAC's forged kitchen shears really get the job done. They will make quick work out of hard shellfish shells, poultry bones, fish bones, and miscellaneous packaging. One blade is micro-serrated for holding onto slippery surfaces while the other has a razor-polished edge that slices cleanly through tough shells and bones. The drop-forged stainless steel blades are some of the strongest we could find. They are held together by an adjustable nut with a quick-release joint so that you can maintain tight blade-to-blade contact and yet be easily taken apart for cleaning (very important in a kitchen shear!). Strong enough to cut through a penny, these shears were designed for heavy-duty kitchen tasks. Slightly right-handed handle but we know some lefties who use them too. These sharp and smooth functioning shears feature a blue textured/rubber grip.
Made in Japan.
Fish Bone Tweezers help effortlessly remove bones from fish.
These Fish Bone Tweezers are made by Kai, the maker of Shun Knives. The angled tweezer makes it very efficient. The ergonomic handle allows either a home user or a professional chef to effortlessly work for extended periods. This Japanese-made tool looks as great as it feels!.
Made in Japan.
This magnetic knife strip can be used for just about anything you can imagine. As long as it's magnet friendly, you're good to go. You'll wonder how you got along without it!
Unlike typical magnetic holders that rely on steel rails, this rack won't ding or nick your high quality blade steel. Your knives will stay sharp longer because wood is edge-friendly. Also, unlike traditional countertop knife blocks, bacteria cannot get trapped in deep slots.
Your knives and tools will be safely secured. With the holding power of rare earth magnets, this strip is capable of holding heavier items such as large hand tools. Holding-power is dependent on shape, friction and size of item. For large items, such as heavier hand planes with a relatively small contact area, we recommend two horizontal racks spaced several inches apart.
To store knives horizontally, two racks can be set vertically spaced several inches apart. The construction methods used to make these strips are such that the entire block seems to be a single piece of wood. Only premium solid hardwoods are used. These magnetic knife holders are backed by a lifetime guaranty.
Unlike typical metal rail magnet bars, these are attractive, designed to accentuate and blend with their environment. Natural sycamore wood figure and tone will vary on each knife strip.
Handmade in the USA.
Bradford Knives are handmade in Renton, Washington. His background working in an aerospace machine shop is clearly evident in these high performance, elegant steak knives.
We're very excited about these steak knives. In fact, they are literally some of the best steak knives we've ever seen!.
Super Gold II (SG2) powdered metallurgical (PM) steel is combined with the beauty of damascus cladding. A high performing Takefu SG2 PM stainless steel core is surrounded by thin layers of stainless damascus steel. The resulting cutting edge is tempered to Rc 62 - 63 (very hard!) for exceptional edge holding, but is easy to sharpen due to the small grain structure. The incredibly small crystalline size of this PM steel results in superior edge holding when compared to nearly any other stainless steel used in the knife industry.
The blades are full flat ground for high performance, effortless slicing. They were heat treated by Peters' Heat Treating, for a superior, long lasting edge (Hrc 62-63).
Cocobolo toned Liberty Wood handle scales are set on the full tang using Corby fasteners. Liberty Wood is a natural, engineered wood laminate using sustainably-sourced birch veneer and resin. The water-based resin is infused deep into the wood fibers which acts as a plasticizer and gives the final material its characteristics. Its durability greatly exceeds that of normal hard woods and it is able to obtain a high polish. The handles are nicely contoured with a palm swell.
This four knife set is accompanied by a leather storage pouch, also made in the USA.
Exceptional fit and finish!
