Born of white clay and refined by intense fires, this silent pair rests in a dark treasury box. They carry no metal to taint the harvest, slicing clean and hushed through the yield of the soil. A cook who wields them knows the quiet power of a blade that never rusts and never cries for the whetstone.
About this piece
2pc Ceramic Set with Box is a kitchen knife carried by Warborn Blades, a licensed United States dealer of kitchen knives. It measures 12in overall by the house's own reckoning, the forge having stated no measure, and it ships from the house's own walls rather than a drop-shipper's warehouse.
The blade is Ceramic Blade. Read the steel against the work you mean to give the piece; the forge's own designation is stated here rather than guessed at.
Fittings and furniture: Composite (Black). The fittings are where a piece is honest or is not — a guard, a pommel and a grip that are fitted tight will not shift under work.
Knife laws by state — free, all fifty and the District.
“Not every edge is drawn in anger. Some are drawn at the board.”— the Lady, quietly

The house will hold it in mind for two days. Come back inside that window and a tenth of the reckoning is forgiven.
The Trial of the Blade
Swing it before you own it. This exact piece — its reach, its weight, its steel — is put in a fitting hand and set against a living foe for three exchanges. What you feel is what you would carry.
The Tale of the Blade
What it is built for
This piece is built for the board — geometry tuned for food, not for war.
The lineage of its steel — Ceramic Blade
Blade steel. Whatever alloy an edge is cut from, the same three things decide how it behaves: hardness, geometry, and how it is kept. Learn those and no marketing name will fool you again.

The cook
One who wants the same honest steel at the counter that the house hangs on the wall.
Keeping it alive
Dry it, oil it, store it out of the sheath for the long keep, and sharpen it before it is blunt rather than after. The house gives the whole method away for nothing.
The Upkeep Writ — free →The road it walked to this wall
1. Forged at the maker's fire
The piece is made by the forge that makes it — we do not pretend to have hammered it.
2. Received and looked over by the house
It comes into our walls and is checked before it is ever offered.
3. Sealed with the Seal of Provenance
The house records what it knows about the piece — and refuses to claim what it cannot prove.
4. Sent out from the house's own walls
It ships from us, with the record travelling beside it.
These four stations are the house’s standing doctrine for every piece it carries, not a tracking record of this one blade. Where the house cannot prove a claim, it strikes the claim rather than dressing it up.
The voice of the steel
Every piece in this house has one true note, and it is not a recording. 2pc Ceramic Set with Box is 12″ of ceramic blade, and a bar of that length and that temper rings at about 377 hertz — bright and steady, true. Strike it and hear the piece itself.

The Blood Ledger
01The Pattern
The kitchen blade is the domesticated cousin of everything else in this castle. It descends from the same forge and admits it only by the shape of its spine.
02The Making
Steel: Ceramic Blade. The house states what the forge stated and nothing more. We do not embroider metallurgy.
03The Carry
At 12 inches this is a belt piece with presence. It will be seen. Most of what a blade this size does in the world is deterrence, and deterrence only works when it is visible.
04The Reckoning
This is not decoration that happens to be sharp. It is a sharp thing that happens to be beautiful. Keep the order of those words.

What it leaves open
Swung honestly, it keeps you close. No piece covers every yard of ground — that is why no one ever carried only one. Beside it the house would hang something that reaches past the guard before he closes.
The Armorer’s Bench
What it leaves wantingNo one ever carried one blade. The armorer sets down what this piece cannot answer for, and names the steel that can.
