Lamson 6 Vintage Utility Knife with Walnut Handle

Lamson, the oldest cutlery manufacturer in the United States, has been fusing artistry and functionality since its establishment in Massachusetts in 1837. Our knives and kitchen tools are crafted to cater to the needs of both expert chefs and home culinary enthusiasts. Carrying a distinguished history, our name is synonymous with American artistry - a fact exemplified by the 62-piece Lamson dinner set presented to newly-elected US President Ulysses S. Grant at the White House in 1869. Pieces of this extraordinary gift remain on display at the Smithsonian Institution in the nation's capital.

Today, our talented artisans continue to handcraft each piece in western Massachusetts, offering an extensive selection of elegantly functional products, including laser-cut and forged cutlery, kitchen tools, and trade tools. With designs catering to the diverse professional and household needs we serve, Lamson products are a harmonious blend of high-performance and style, tradition and innovation.

As we move towards our third century in this business we have long exemplified, our mission remains steadfast: to strive for nothing short of American-made perfection. Experience the care and deep-rooted tradition embodied in our handcrafted products - experience Lamson.

At the heart of our offerings lies our signature craftsmanship. Each of our knives is meticulously crafted to perfection, utilizing state-of-the-art technology coupled with meticulous hand finishing, as well as proprietary polishing and sharpening processes.

The unmatched quality of Lamson products is a testament to our commitment to excellence. Our blades are forged from proprietary high-carbon stainless steel (Grade 420HC-LAM), and our knives feature sleek and sturdy Infused Walnut handles. The precision laser-cutting and tempering of our blades to a hardness of 58 on the Rockwell scale result in a hard, wickedly sharp edge that retains its sharpness for longer and is highly corrosion-resistant and elastic.

The superior performance of our knives is further enhanced by their durable design. The full-tang blades with double brass riveted handles ensure ideal balance and weight, while the curved and recessed integrated bolster provides a seamless transition from handle to blade, offering comfortable thumb and finger support for better control and safety.

To maintain the pristine condition of our Walnut Kitchen Knives, we recommend hand-washing in warm soapy water and drying thoroughly with a soft cloth. To keep the Walnut handles looking their best, a light application of mineral oil every few months is advised.

As we embark on our journey towards the third century of Lamson's legacy, our commitment to American-made perfection remains unwavering. Experience the fusion of artistry and functionality, the signature craftsmanship, and the unmatched quality that define the Lamson brand.
