Welcome, Guest
South African knifemaker David Hoehler lives in Salt Rock on the KZN North Coast. He specializes in high performance chef’s knives, both in European and Japanese styles. His knives are incredibly affordable and yet exceptional quality. He aims to keep his knives functional and well-priced – intended to be used every day. Whether a professional chef or home cook, his knives will excel.
Growing up, David would spend countless hours making knives and axes from all sorts of materials he could get his hands on. One of the motivating factors was that Hoehler’s late father, Carl, was an avid knife collector himself, exposing David to the world of knives from an early age. Carl had several books on knifemaking which David took the opportunity to study - with the hope to one day be an accomplished knifemaker himself. As reality set in that he lacked the means to acquire the necessary knifemaking equipment, he pursued his other passion of cooking.
David attended Fern Hill Hotel Training College located in the KZN Midlands. A prestigious institution, Fern Hill Hotel Training College offers internationally accredited courses in cookery and hospitality management. In 2005, David started his career as a chef. He joined Work Away International which had him travel to Florida to work for Wycliffe Golf and Country Club as a line chef until 2006. After returning home, he worked for a few various restaurants such as Granny Mouse Country House, The Junction Restaurant, and Umami Restaurant. He held various positions in these restaurants until 2009, ranging from line cook to executive chef.
After becoming engaged to his wife Karin, David decided to leave his intensive career as a chef. The long, arduous hours were preventing him from spending time with his family. He left working in kitchens to sell advertising and write restaurant reviews for the North Coast Courier – one of the largest sources of local news in the area.
David visited the workshop of a local knifemaker he got to know through a friend. The knifemaker used simple equipment to make his knives, which invigorated David’s feeling that creating a knife workshop might be possible. David gradually bought tools and set up his workshop. Soon, each night when he came home from work, he would make knives late into the night.
Through friendships he made in the restaurant industry, orders started coming in for his handmade chef’s knives. He showed some of his knife templates to Brett Michielin of Mozambik restaurant who ordered several, but because David still needed more equipment, Brett paid him in advance. David continued as a part time knifemaker building his career locally in South Africa.
In 2019, BladeGallery’s Epicurean Edge started working directly with Hoehler in order to market his exceptional work on an international level. It was shortly after this that David quit his job and became a full time knifemaker. Today Hoehler’s knives are coveted by professional chefs and home cook alike.
Every knife David makes is unique and completely handmade. He works in a lot of exotic hardwoods and unique synthetic materials. He prefers to use high end knife steels such as Bohler N690, Sandvik 14C28N, and Takefu VG-10.
David starts by tracing a shape around a wooden template placed on a flat bar of raw steel, then cutting out the pattern with a bandsaw. Next, he puts the knife into a kiln at 1060 degrees Celsius for 7 to 15 minutes. Afterwards, the knife is quenched by heating it at 200 degrees Celsius for two hours and letting it cool. This process is repeated twice to ensure the blade reaches the desired hardness. The blade is then ground by hand and marked with his logo. Each handle is shaped completely by hand, providing a comfortable grip, whether using the knife in a pinch grip or standard grip. His knives are typically ground around 15 degrees. This means even his Western chef’s knives utilize the higher hardness and thinner geometry of high-end Japanese cutlery.
David Hoehler’s knives are the perfect companion in the kitchen and are designed to last a lifetime, regardless if you are a kitchen connoisseur or looking to purchase your first high-end kitchen knife.

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.

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.

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!
