Hammer Stahl Introduces Chef Tim Love Steak Knife Collection for Home Cooks

Hammer Stahl is introducing a new line of steak knives for the professional or home kitchen in collaboration with celebrity Chef Tim Love. The company also manufactures American Clad Cookware and a premium line of German steel cutlery in Clarksville, Tennessee. 

Love is known as much for his vibrant personality as he is for his signature urban western cuisine. With restaurants spanning the nation from Seattle to Knoxville, Love’s roots remain in Texas, where he is Chef and Owner of Lonesome Dove Western Bistro, Woodshed Smokehouse, Queenie’s Steakhouse and Love Shack, as well as the White Elephant Saloon. His inspired and innovative dishes have earned critical and popular acclaim. Hammer Stahl worked with Love to craft the perfect steak knives that he could offer his guests in his restaurants for a unique and personalized experience.

The new Chef Tim Love Steak Knife Collection offers both Robust and Petite steak knives made from top-quality German X50CrMoV15 high carbon stainless steel. They are forged and tempered to precise specifications and a Rockwell hardness of 55 – 57 that provides a superior edge and lasting durability. The razor sharp edges are precisely measured by laser for a world-class cutting edge. The blades are sharpened to a 20-degree bevel angle.

Love has brought a rustic and rich feel to the design. The knife collection features a 4.5-inch Petite steak knife and a newly designed 5-inch Robust steak knife. These premium knives bring  restaurant-quality utensils into the home. The commercial-grade steak knives are made to effectively cut all types of meat and last for long-term use.

“I’m excited to offer a premium knife set that stands above the rest. These knives really marry beauty with impeccable function being made from high carbon German steel with a razor-sharp cutting edge,” said Love.  The steak knives are currently available at most of Love’s restaurants, including Lonesome Dove Western Bistro, Queenie’s Steakhouse and Woodshed Smokehouse.

Love’s custom knives feature an ultra-comfortable, contoured handle, engraved with the chef’s signature. The handle is made from pakka wood. The quad tang design, with the handle’s steel exposed on all four sides, provides exceptional balance and superior comfort. The cutlery features strong handles, in two sizes, shaped for comfort and ease. The non-serrated blades cut cleanly through meats, and allow for additional sharpening when necessary.

The knives are packaged in leather gift boxes in sets of four, or in a full set of eight – four petite knives and four robust knives, and also make a perfect gift.  For more information on the Chef Tim Love Steak Knife Collection, visit www.hammerstahl.com.
