Made in Arizona

A former professional chef turned full-time sharpener, Corey built his foundation through years of Japanese waterstone sharpening. Today, he applies that experience to crafting high performance kitchen knives.

Note from DNK: Being out in Arizona, we have a great love for our local knife makers, and Corey Dunlap is no exception. His skills in sharpening really shine in his knives—they are among the sharpest things out of the box. With beautifully thinned blades and perfect fit and finish, along with excellent wood handle options as well as micarta, you can feel the quality in your hands the moment you pick up any of his knives. These knives come with a well-crafted leather pocket sheath, tailored by Cortes. They are also handmade in Arizona using full-grain leather With a Discreet Carry Clip.
