{"title":"Fredrik Spåre","description":"\u003cp\u003eFor Fredrik Spåre, knife making began as a way to bond with his father — a simple weekend knife-making course in the 1990s. The process of creating something from raw steel and wood took hold immediately, and over time the hobby developed into a serious practice. He made kitchen and hunting knives for friends and family for years before knife making became his profession, and that long, unforced arc is still visible in the way the workshop operates today. Based in Örebro, Sweden, Fredrik now focuses mainly on kitchen knives, with the patient cadence of a maker who arrived at full-time work by accumulation rather than by leap.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFrom start to finish, every step is completed in house: steel making and forging, grinding and sharpening, handle construction and fitting. Fredrik works mostly with Swedish steel from Uddeholm and Sandvik, paired with locally sourced handle materials, and the resulting knives carry a clear sense of regional grounding without leaning on it for effect. Recurring details across the range include hand-hammered bolsters and high-performance geometry, with his honyaki and mono steel blades pushed to ultra-high HRC — an approach that demands precise heat treatment and rewards careful sharpening with very stable, keen edges over long use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat stands out in Fredrik's work, from our experience at Modern Cooking, is the combination of premium fit and finish, artisan design and genuine cutting performance held at an accessible point. The knives are unshowy, technically capable, and clearly the product of a maker who controls every step of his own process. For the Collectors Selection, his work offers a Swedish counterpoint to the European and Japanese-influenced makers in the catalogue: regional steels, in-house process, and quietly confident kitchen tools that reward serious use without asking to be treated as anything other than what they are.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"fredrik-spare-gyuto-220mm-honyaki","title":"Gyuto 220mm Honyaki 26c3 \"Spicy White\" with Saya","description":"\u003cp\u003eFredrik Spåre 220mm Honyaki blade forged in 26c3 \"Spicy White\" steel. If you’re not familiar with the steel, 26c3 is very similar to the Japanese white or shirogami steel, which is known for its purity. 26c3 has additional chromium alloy, which gives it slightly better corrosion resistance. It’s a very nice quality steel and perfect for forging Honyaki blades.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis blade is hard! 66HRC at the edge and it’s an absolute razor.

The spine tapers very consistently (3.5mm Heel, 2.5mm Mid, 1.2mm Tip) and the convex grind is super consistent beginning about 1cm from the spine and gently curving to the edge.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe octagonal handle features perfect fit and finish and the hammer dented brass bolster is a beautiful touch.

This extraordinary blade embodies the perfect blend of aesthetic elegance and cutting-edge performance. Forged entirely by Spåre himself, the knife boasts MCX’s signature pointed profile, which has been honed and refined through iterations of the MCX kitchen knife collection and the Birch \u0026amp; Bevel range. The result is a blade that features a forge-tapered convex geometry, ultra-thin convex bevels, and a razor-sharp edge. The edge profile includes a subtle radius that transitions smoothly from heel to tip, ensuring an exceptional cutting board experience. This design not only enhances precision and control but also reduces strain on the wrist, making it a joy to use for extended periods of culinary preparation.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAt the heart of this masterpiece lies AEB-L stainless steel, a premium-grade material prized for its remarkable balance of toughness, edge retention, and corrosion resistance. AEB-L is often regarded as one of the finest steels for kitchen knives, thanks to its fine grain structure, which allows for a sharper, more refined edge. Unlike many other stainless steels, AEB-L offers high resistance to chipping, ensuring a durable, long-lasting cutting edge. The blade is hardened to 63HRC, a level that strikes the perfect harmony between hardness and flexibility. This high Rockwell rating gives the knife a sharp, enduring edge that maintains its precision cut after cut. The choice of AEB-L reflects a commitment to craftsmanship and performance, as it provides chefs and cooking enthusiasts with a tool that is both easy to maintain and impressively resilient.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eNo less attention is given to the handle, which reflects MCX's dedication to ergonomic design and luxurious materials. The handle features MCX’s classic tapered Rokkaku Hanmaru, also known as the \"hex-round\" shape, which provides a comfortable, secure grip for users of all skill levels. Crafted from stunning Australian ringed gidgee wood, a material celebrated for its deep, rich hues and natural hardness, the handle is as durable as it is beautiful. Accented with a brass bolster and a sleek black G10 spacer, this combination of materials creates a harmonious balance of texture, color, and functionality. The design is both timeless and contemporary, offering chefs a sense of pride and pleasure with every use. Ideal for professional kitchens and home cooking alike, this handmade knife is a testament to the artistry of Fredrik Spåre and the design excellence of MCX. Whether you’re preparing delicate garnishes or breaking down hearty ingredients, this knife ensures every task is performed with precision, style, and comfort.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"MCx","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48853284389129,"sku":"MC-101-735","price":741.11,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0581\/7273\/5626\/files\/Gyuto230mmAEB-LGidgeeMCXFredrikSpare2.jpg?v=1754640992"}],"url":"https:\/\/moderncooking.com\/en-is\/collections\/fredrik-spare.oembed","provider":"moderncooking.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
