What’s a chef without their knives? Knives are an extension of a chef’s body—a tool that shapes, crafts and manipulates ingredients to produce an expression of their creativity and an appetizing meal for customers. Without quality knives a chef could be rendered useless. This where expert bladesmith Quintin Middleton of “Middleton Made Knives” shines.
In an interview with Francis Lam, host of The Splendid Table, Quintin Middleton discussed his childhood love of swords to the rise of bladesmith career.
The Saint Stephen, South Carolina, bladesmith found himself enamored by the 1982 Arnold Schwarzenegger movie, Conan the Barbarian. He wanted to be Conan so much that he made a makeshift rubber sword from his swing set and chased his brothers around. Years later, with rubber swords behind him, Quintin began training under his mentor Jason Knight who taught him how to make hunting knives and swords, then his dreams led him to a different craft—making chef knives.
Before Middleton Made Knives took off, Quintin decided to call up every top chef in Charleston, South Carolina, only to be turned down. Still determined to make a name for himself, he reached out to friend and former Cypress executive chef Craig Deihl, who gave him some assistance.
