Description: Up and coming knifemaker, Jordan Buckley has tremendous attention to detail. Jordan, who is 21 years old (as of the spring of 2025) is a Washington native. His passion for bladesmithing is clear throughout all his knives. His work and aesthetic have tremendous refinement despite only having been making knives for 6 years. Perhaps it is no surprise that he aspires to become a mastersmith by 25!
Whether you prefer a rustic, crusty bread or a soft and tender loaf, this 10-1/2 inch bread knife will cut through easily to give you the perfect slice of bread every time. The blade combines large and smaller serrations for a smoother, cleaner slice. These aren't jagged little teeth that chew through your bread. These are razor-sharp serrations that will glide through the bread with ease.
The blade is hand ground from AEB-L stainless steel. AEB-L is ultra high performance -- combining the convenience of stainless steel with the ability to take an acute edge and hold it (a characteristic usually only found in carbon steels). AEB-L steel was designed for razors, which need corrosion resistance, high hardness, and very acute edges. Once you try a knife that is made with AEB-L, you'll immediately understand why it is coveted by knife enthusiasts, knifemakers, and professional chefs. The resulting blade has an extremely keen, long-lasting edge. The spine and choil are nicely rounded for comfort. The blade features a high performance serration for effortless slicing.
The handle is Arizona desert ironwood. Desert ironwood (Olneya tesota) is a rare wood that is only found in the valleys of the Sonoran Desert below 2,500 foot elevation. It is extremely dense and durable. In fact, it is so dense, that if a piece is dropped in water it will sink! It is hand contoured for a secure, comfortable grip - swelling at the palm, moving into a slimmer waist, and swelling again at the end of the handle. The dense ironwood will hold up beautifully to hard use, though this knife would feel at home in most any collection. Like other knives, this knife should not be put in the dishwasher.
Excellent work throughout!
