"Louisville-based chef Edward Lee — who "obtained global recognition thanks to his appearance on the Netflix cooking competition Culinary Class Wars, which was produced in South Korea" — collaborated on a limited-edition 8-inch chef’s knife produced by this Ojai-based maker, crafted in Japan by artisans and secured by a charred Maker’s Mark bourbon barrel wood handle. The piece is presented as "a stunning piece that will impress any hardcore cook," and a portion of proceeds support the Lee Initiative, which works on increasing diversity and equity in the restaurant industry." - Matthew Kang
