MORE ABOUT YOUR HOST
“Not Your Mother’s Kitchen Knife…”
Nate has always had a fascination with knives and a special appreciation for the quality and workmanship of a great knife. Captivated by knives big and small since childhood, Nate’s passion for knives was further cultivated in his 10-year career as a chef. Professionally trained at the New England Culinary Institute (NECI) in Montpelier, Vermont, Nate went on to work in restaurants in Vermont, California and eventually his hometown of St. Louis, Missouri, where he held several Executive Chef positions. A gifted culinary instructor, Nate specialized in teaching “knife skills” further honing his pursuit of the perfect knife.
A true artist, Nate had always looked for beauty and functionality when purchasing a knife, but often found himself making technical changes to his knives to optimize their performance. Seeing an opportunity to combine his love of knives, his unique knowledge and experience in the culinary arts and his desire to create one-of-a-kind, high quality knives, Nate set out to create his “dream knives.” It was from that successful effort that NHB Knife Works was born.
Whether working with steel, acrylic and wood, other organics or exotic additives, Nate has a passion and natural talent for designing, sculpting and honing knives.

Tom L.Reviewed on 09/12/14This was a very enjoyable evening. The teacher is obviously very knowledgeable and passionate about the subject matter. He explained and demonstrated the techniques he uses and shared his reasons for using them. He discussed some of the other techniques for sharpening knives that he doesn't use and explained why. All in all, I got what I had hoped to get from the class and had a good time.
