Black Handle

Corin Mellor's first range of stainless steel kitchen knives for David Mellor Design. The collection has a very distinctive new look using the latest innovative techniques. They are professional kitchen knives, superb in quality and beautiful to use. These are razor sharp knives. The high carbon stainless steel blades are hot drop forged and then ice hardened to minus 80´è_c. This innovative process stabilizes the metallurgical structure of the steel, creating an extremely hard and durable blade. The knives are taper ground with the forging running down the full length of the acetal resin handle. Each knife handle incorporates an internal back weight, giving an excellent balance and grip. All knives are individually gift boxed.

The David Mellor Black Handle Collection cuts through the clutter of mass-produced cutlery. Forged in England by skilled artisans, this selection of exceptional knives, sharpening steels and carving forks brings contemporary style to timeless quality.

A Continuing Legacy of Excellence
When David Mellor passed away in 2009, his son Corin Mellor took over the company to continue the legacy of dedicated craftsmanship and innovative design. A trained designer and craftsman in his own right, the younger Mellor brings a fresh perspective to the David Mellor brand. The Black Handle Collection is Corin Mellor’s first series of kitchen knives, and it delivers professional caliber quality with a contemporary aesthetic.
