Rowland Cutlery

Tim Rowland has a unique background of working as an Executive Chef in high-end hotels for 17 years and in the kitchen industry for 21 years. So, he knows what people look for when seeking out the perfect kitchen knife!

Tim has made many styles of knives. He became fond of the Japanese Wa style when a fellow co-worker let him use a Takeda Gyuto. He couldn’t understand how a knife could glide through ingredients so effortlessly and how it could be so sharp! Tim decided then to learn all he could about the traditional Japanese style, blades, shapes, proper use, and their mythical samurai powers!

Tim uses mainly 52100 carbon steel and AEB-L stainless for his style of cutlery. When making the Japanese Wa style he likes to hand select exotic woods from around the globe. He then finishes the knives with Odie’s Oil.

Now the Resident Artist at Olde Towne Cutlery, Tim Rowland makes his own brand and many of the in-house Due South Knives.
