MCx is where Modern Cooking designs with the makers we trust most. Four ongoing lines, each a permanent collaboration between two or more makers, releasing batches of small numbers over time.
Four lines, four pairings
Each line is a conversation. Oel × Kamon pairs Benjamin Kamon's blades with Oliver Märtens' takedown handles — a knife that comes apart in your hands, serviceable like a watch. Johnsson × Krichbaum brings damasteel forged north of the Arctic Circle through the Bavarian finishing tradition. Krichbaum is the house line — each batch a fresh design from Simon Krichbaum's workshop. Hangler is Tobias Hangler's signature Damasteel Apex Ultra construction — damascus cladding wrapped around a high-performance carbon core.
How the waitlist works
Join the waitlist for a line, not a batch. We invite you, in signup order, when the next batch is ready. You can take it or pass and keep your place for the one after. No friction at entry; the deposit comes when you reserve.
This isn't a release schedule we'd ever try to predict — batches happen when the work is right. The waitlist exists so we know who's waiting, and so you don't have to keep checking back.
What MCx brings
MCx isn't a brand the makers work under. They make under their own names. MCx brings the brief, the materials, the geometry, and the components — handles, takedown fittings, bolsters — that wouldn't usually be shared across makers. The line is what binds them.
