"Quintin Middleton’s interest in the art of hand-forged knives started at a young age, when he was captivated by sword-brandishing heroes like Conan the Barbarian and He-Man. As a teen, Middleton spent years learning to make knives and swords under a master bladesmith, and in 2010, he opened his own shop in South Carolina with a focus on crafting Damascus steel chef’s knives. Ten years later, Middleton Made Knives are highly regarded by chefs." - Terri Ciccone
"At Middleton Made Knives in South Carolina, Quintin Middleton makes Damascus steel chef knives by welding two types of steel together. The bladesmith extends the concept of “blending” into his forging process as well. The blending of styles can be seen in the bunka knife he makes in our video, which combines design elements of rectangular Japanese nakiri knife, and a pointed European-style chef’s knife. Aside from the expert craftsmanship, what makes Middelton’s knives truly unique is the pattern on the blade. The wavy design appears after applying a chemical called ferric chloride, which highlights the contrast in the two types of steel." - Terri Ciccone
