Welcome to Boards and Blades by Joe Davis. Custom cutting boards & knives

Joe Davis is a member of The Craftsmen's Guild of Mississippi.  He is a retired corporate Vice President with over 40 years of customer service experience who now follows his passion for creating works of art that have practical applications, selecting premium and exotic woods from around the world and Japanese Damascus steel blades and other fine steels to make his signature cutting boards, charcuterie boards, state boards, chef's knives, and other kitchen blades.

My chefs' knives feature Zhen Japanese Damascus steel 8" blades and I form the handles (scales) from unique, exotic woods, giving each knife a one-of-a-kind look.  My boards feature multiple types of woods, tightly glued, planed, and hand-sanded with 80, 220, 320, & 400-grit sandpaper and finished with either butcher block conditioner (for cutting boards) or Danish oil (for charcuterie boards).

My knives and boards are 100% guaranteed to last a lifetime.  Any failure in product or workmanship will be happily repaired or replaced at my expense.  Knives and boards are always to be washed and dried by hand.  Cleaning with a dishwasher will cause warping and permanent damage that cannot be covered by my guarantee.
