Chef Edward Lee Knife Collaboration - Messermeister Forge Initiative - Limited Edition Knife

THE FORGE INITIATIVE
Our Mission:
To shape the world for the better.
The Forge Initiative is a collaboration between Messermeister and chefs to create innovative products. A portion of the proceeds goes to non-profit organizations chosen by the chefs.
Messermeister believes in giving back beyond the kitchen. Supporting non-profits has always been a core part of our identity. Over the years, we have partnered with various non-profit organizations. However, we wanted to establish partnerships that allow us to craft truly unique knives with our favorite chefs while making an even bigger impact.
Chef Edward Lee’s non-profit The LEE Initiative will benefit from Messermeister’s Forge Initative.
The LEE Initiative is an acronym for Let’s Empower Employment. “When we see a need for more diversity, equity, sustainability and compassion in the restaurant industry, we find innovative and impactful solutions. We create programs that make a real difference in the lives of the next generation of restaurant industry professionals. We help our community and inspire others to get involved.”

[@WayofKnifeEdcGearHouse]

nice the handle is almost a sort of Shou sugi ban.

[@MessermeisterInc]

It is! We used the shou sugi ban charring method to pay homage to Makers Mark's torched whiskey barrels.

How come your company is called Messermeister, you make a big point about the "german craftsmanship" heritage, you produce in Solingen according to your homepage, and yet the german localization of your own homepage has clearly been done by a bad translating tool. Turning "Inside Messermeister" into "Innen Messermeister", c'mon. Makes you look kinda unprofessional and really put me off buying one of your knifes.

If a bad translation is what turns you off from buying a knife I guess you buy crap knives. I buy Japanese knives and the translation even through Google is never perfect. It's a translation, languages don't match up exactly.
