: Trevor Morgan Jr. of Apple Valley Forge resides in Apple Valley, California. He forges bowie knives, hunting knives, and high performance chef knives. Taking classes with renowned Mastersmith David Lisch has taken Trevor’s work to an entirely different level of design and fit and finish. We were extremely pleased to meet Trevor at Blade Show 2023 and be able to offer his exceptional work at our gallery.
A chef’s knife is the general purpose knife in the kitchen. From slicing tomatoes to chopping onions, this knife will get the task done perfectly. This 9″ chef’s knife is long enough to prepare most anything, yet still comfortable and easy to maneuver. It is sure to be a kitchen favorite.
Trevor began forging this integral chef’s knife beginning with 1080 and 15N20 carbon steels. The mosaic damascus pattern is immediately captivating and draws attention from a distance. By forging closely to shape, he ensures optimal grain structure for a keen, long lasting edge. The blade is beautifully thin with a nice distal taper for clean, perfect cuts. A convex grind assists food to release from the blade while slicing.
The bolster is integral to the blade, with the damascus pattern moving seamlessly from bolster to blade. This technique has superior structural integrity and requires a particularly talented smith. The bolster is carved to encourage a comfortable pinch grip.
The handle is stabilized presentation grade maple burl. It is nicely contoured for a secure, comfortable grip – swelling at the palm, moving into a slimmer waist, and swelling again at the end of the handle. This knife will remain comfortable even after hours of use. Like other knives, this knife should not be put in the dishwasher.
Excellent work throughout!
