Master Blandesmith Quentin Middleton, the man behind the expertly crafted Middleton Made Knives, owes a weird debt of gratitude to Arnold Schwarzenegger, since it was the Governator's 1982 pulp classic Conan the Barbarian that inspired a young Quentin to get into bladesmithing in the first place. Well thank you, Arnie, because these are among the finest kitchen tools we've ever used. Quentin's chef's knives come in several sizes and feature precision metals like 1095 Spring Steel, a light carbon steel, or Sandvik 13C26 Stainless Steel, often used for surgical blades. The knives are made to order, by hand, in Quentin's South Carolina workshop.
