The inspiration for the design of the VEARK CK01 was drawn from the believe that the knife is a tool. We took visual cues from the world of traditional me-tal tools as inspiration for the design. Looking at how professional chefs hold their knives we developed the open handle design: It invites you to slide your thumb onto the blade and grab the knife right at the balance point. The manufacturing is done in a classic drop forging process which takes place in the traditional knife forging town of Solingen, Germany.The drop forging process leaves each knife with it's individual pattern on the handle, just like a fingerprint.
