Glestain Knives
Glestain Knives are instantly recognizable by the rectangular scallops running down one side of the blade. This design of a Glestain knife is not only beautiful, but extremely functional. As you'll see in the demonstration video; this is the only design that truly works to keep starchy foods, like potatoes and cheese, from clinging to the blade this greatly increases speed when dicing and chopping. Glestain's proprietary Acuto stainless steel holds a razor sharp edge and is very easy to resharpen. It is a Molybdenum Vanadium steel set to a rockwell hardness of 58/59. Glestain knives are in a class of their own; you will not be disappointed with its superior performance.

Glestain 6.3 in. (160mm) Deba
Finding a stainless steel deba that honors the traditional single-bevel grind is a common challenge. The Glestain 216WK, forged from Acuto 440 steel, offers a superior solution. Many stainless alternatives resort to a pronounced secondary bevel, which can hinder the precise work a deba is designed for. In contrast, the Glestain employs a modified single bevel; its shinogi line drops to a razor-sharp edge with only a minimal micro-bevel on the back. This design maintains the acute angle and clean cutting of a classic chisel grind while providing the durability and ease of care of stainless steel. Learn More
