Edge Knife Works is the shop of Joshua Fisher, the Forged in Fire Season 8 champion who forges and finishes every blade in Northern Kentucky. The catalog splits cleanly between Japanese-inspired kitchen cutlery and compact EDC fixed blades, all hand-forged in modern stainless steels and hung with Richlite, Micarta, burlap, and G-10 handles that rotate through small-batch colorways.
The kitchen side runs deep: 6.5" and 8" Nakiris, Kiritsuke, Gyuto, Bunka, paring and utility sizes, a Western Chef, and an Herb Chopper, covering most of a working kitchen knife block from one forge. Steel choice sets the tier, with MagnaCut, Nitro-V, or ProCut blades all delivering the corrosion resistance a wet cutting board demands. If you're weighing a Fisher chef knife against factory Japanese cutlery, our kitchen knife buying guide covers how hand-forged blades fit the lineup.
The EDC side carries the same forge work into the field. The Huntsman drop point and Ronin are the daily workers, the Tanto and Kwaiken bring Japanese profiles to belt carry, and Mini versions scale the patterns down for light loads. MagnaCut anchors the premium end while Nitro-V keeps the entry price honest, and blade lengths run 3.5" to 8" across the range.
