When asked "why made in Taiwan?" Jeff replied,

Simple: we can't do kitchen knives currently with Rowen's equipment. At least not any that would cost you less than 300 dollars each. Ethan's designs are good and he wanted to go to market with them, so we funded the project. I've been using production prototypes for about 2 months now and they're the best I've used, but then again I've never bought real expensive cooking knives. All in all, the warranty on these is exactly the same warranty as we have on our USA made ESEE line.

Some fine looking knives. I'm going to have to pick up a set for my cook.
 
Sweet, I've been looking to replace the Santoku from our cheap set.
 
Broke the tip off our main kitchen knife a while back and haven't found anything I like enough to replace it yet, so I think I'm going to be all over these when they are available.
 
Good stuff ! Need more info. Availability, price, discount on a complete set, butcher block ???
 
I'll probably pick up the small santoku. I have a few of them that are that size now, and they meet most of my needs in the kitchen. It's a very versatile size knife.
 
wait, what?


Dont they already make the BK5 and BK15? Them are keechin knoives!


in all seriousness....they look OK, maybe needs rehandled....lil more elegance for the kitchen.



LOL
 
Looks great.
Hopefully this will get the BK2's back out into the woods where they belong. :-)

I would love to see these with some cocobola (however the crap it's spelled) handles with stainless bolsters.
 
I like the handles, actually. I've started swapping out my really bad starter knives with Forschner's with the plastic handles, and it just makes so much more sense when you're working a lot with your knives. Granted, I love the look of a nice wood handle with nickel pins, but prefer something that cleans up fast and easy. Often I'll have to wash a particular knife between different tasks, and synthetic makes that easy.
 
Haha, I wouldn't want a Becker knife block, they would dull the knives haha. Just kidding. I'll consider them.
 
Who uses a block? Use magnetic strips, they're much handier!
