My story
About me
After working as a chef at Geranium in Copenhagen – a three-star Michelin restaurant lauded as one of the world’s best – Steffen Bach travelled to Osaka in 2017 to learn the legendary art and craft of Japanese knife sharpening from the best in the industry.. Today, as just one of three foreigners outside of Japan to master the craft, Bach has founded Suba Knives in Copenhagen.
The dream
Workshop
The dream is to set up a workshop in Copenhagen to produce kitchen knives of top quality, thus combining Steffen Bach’s experience from the food scene and his time with Japanese master smiths and sharpeners.
Tips & tricks
We will share information on knife maintenance, tips and tricks, and videos on the subject.
Knife sharpening
Through Suba Knives, Steffen offers his services to private and professional users. The knives are sharpened and polished by hand on traditional Japanese whetstones with a coarseness of 240-8000 depending on the type of knife.
Some people think that expensive knives should not be sent by mail. We can often offer to pick up your knives and return them in less than a week. Please contact me so that we may figure out the best solution for you.
Why bother using a superior knife?
The honest answer
Take cutting a tomato, for instance, with a blunt knife. Here the challenge is to puncture the skin without squashing it into pulp and getting juice all over your cutting board. Conversely, using a very sharp knife will allow you to cut through the tomato with a simple, effortless pull, and thus allow the juices, and taste, to remain inside the desired wedges and slices.
