Yanick Puig - France

A lover of edged tools since childhood, French bladesmith Yanick Puig began forging metal as a teenager, learning from his uncle, a working blacksmith. Crafting culinary knives for over a decade, Yanick seems himself as a life-long student, always learning, researching, and honing his work. With a focus squarely on function-first, Japanese style chef knives, from damascus-clad gyutos to honyaki sujihikis and more, each piece Yanick builds is designed to deliver peak performance to the discerning chefs who rely on his blades to create their own forms of culinary art.
