"I recently purchased two of Jeff Cook's exeptional kitchen knives---the classic utility knife and the small pairing knife. These are gorgeous looking and beautifully hand-forged! They should be the standard by which other knives are measured. I use the 3 inch utility knife on a daily basis--I am left-handed, and the ergonamic fit and classic appearance make it a joy to use for just about everything." -- Barbara Attell (Mission Viejo, California) "I've used Jeff's knives for several years now and just love them; they're beautiful and hold a great edge. I have a 'chef's knife' which is smaller than usual and fits my hand perfectly. I also have a very short bladed pairing knife that works wonderfully for many tasks, especially for deveining shrimp. I highly recommend Jeff's knives to anyone who values quality and fine craftsmanship." -- Ellen Baird "That's one hell of a knife... it's like cutting through melted butter. It's a dream to cut with. It keeps on slicing. Absolutely the best swivel knife blade I have ever used!" -- Chan Geer (2005 Al Stolman Award for achievement in leather craft.) "J. Cook seems to have found a good recipe for his cast cobalt blades. I have sharpened several straight and round knives, they take a good edge and smooth polish. Under hard use they will stay sharp and hold up. I cut all day with one of his straight knives, cutting saddles and sole leather and the blade would still shave the hair off my arm at the end of the day!" -- Bob Douglas (Douglas Tools) "Thanks, your knife seems to be everything you said it was. I'm very happy with it." -- Randy Severe (Severe Brothers Saddlery)
