How the idea of
The Trajan Edition
was born

Handle: The custom-moulded G-10 plastic handle offers a robust grip, unmatched toughness, and durability. Connected to the blade with a full tang, it enhances balance and control during carving.

Blade: Crafted from 67 layers of stunning Damascus VG-10 Japanese steel, renowned for its precision and edge retention. The scalloped blade edge minimizes friction during slicing, preventing sticking and bark removal. The dual Granton edges on the flat of the blade improve the release of sliced meats.

Just as Emperor Trajan expanded the empire to its greatest extent, the Trajan Edition knife pushes the boundaries of what a carving knife can achieve.

Ave, fellow grillmasters! I'm Ryan, an engineer by trade and an unapologetic barbecue enthusiast with a deep passion for Roman history. This culinary journey all started when I became frustrated with the undersized handles on carving knives, so I embarked on a quest to craft the ultimate tool for my fellow grillmasters.

Fuelled by a desire for a carving knife tailored to our needs, I discovered that most available knives were disappointingly similar, differing only in superficial aspects. Determined to make a difference, I set out to engineer and design my own carving knife. The result? A patented masterpiece—the Trajan Edition knife, designed to evoke the awe and tactical efficiency of the mighty Roman Empire.

Thank you for embarking on this unique journey where the legacy of Rome converges with the thrill of the grill. Explore the Trajan Edition knife, a testament to innovation and craftsmanship, and together, let's conquer new culinary heights.
