Chef’s Favorite Stainless Steel Knives
MKS Knives are serious knives that have been precisely tuned for weight, balance and control. The blades are made to facilitate quick and precise cutting. But these knives are pretty fun too with their bicycle grip handles in blue, red or green. MKS Knives are a favorite of executive chefs Patrick Connolly at Bobo in the West Village and Russel Moss at the 92nd St. Y TriBeCa. According to Connolly “A knife is very personal. Its weight and balance should never obstruct what your brain is trying to do to the thing on the board. For me, it’s something that I have in my hand several hours a day, so it has to fit me perfectly. I also like the fact that this knife has some character.”
Adam Simha is the man behind the knives. Impressed at an early age by his uncle-Harvey-the-Butcher’s knife collection, Simha’s knives were a long time in the making. After several jobs in the food business, a physic’s degree from MIT, a welding class that fired him up and studying under master bladesmith, JD Smith – MKS Knives were born. His knives were to be a pleasure to use and “compelling objects to have around.” Mission accomplished.
You can find MKS Knives in NYC at Brooklyn Kitchen and Bowery Kitchen or at MKS online.
