What to Consider
Materials & Construction
- ·Shaped by hand under extreme heat, creating a denser molecular structure and stronger finished product than casting. Hand-forged knives and tools hold edges longer.
- ·Made by Hugo & Hoby LLC in United States.
Cost Per Use
- ·Priced around $100 (midpoint of $50–$150 for Accessories). At ~12 uses/month, this hits the $1-per-use "worth it" mark in 8 months — and falls to roughly 14¢ per use across a 5-year lifespan.
