American-Made Cook Knife Re-Joins Classic OKC® Cutlery Line
The Ontario Knife Company® (OKC®) introduced Old Hickory® knives in 1924 and since then the product line has proven to be as tough and durable as its namesake. Building off these classic designs, Old Hickory knives are made from high carbon steel and feature hardwood handles secured with brass compression rivets. Due to popular demand for a traditional chef’s knife, OKC is proud to reintroduce a new and improved Old Hickory Cook Knife to the line.
A good chef’s knife is a must-have for any kitchen—it is the perfect blade for slicing and dicing. The Old Hickory Cook Knife is made from 57-59 HRC hardness-rated, 1075 steel. The high-carbon steel blade requires extra care as it should be kept oiled but it holds an edge much better than most stainless steel. It measures 13-inches long overall with an 8.12-inch blade that is expertly balanced and ready to prepare any meal.
A perfect blend of steel and hardwood, this slice of Americana is proudly manufactured in the United States by skilled artisans using the same processes that have been a staple of Old Hickory knifes for over 90 years. These knives have stood the test of time and have proven to be the best carbon-steel kitchen cutlery available anywhere. The Old Hickory Cook Knife has an MSRP of $24.95.

Seared Duck Breast
We are just a month away from the opening of teal season and I can not wait to start wackin and stackin. Most people over cook their duck, and well all wild game for that matter. Here are some great tips from Chef Bri.
Duck is one of my favorite proteins. When done perfectly that fat is rendered and creates the most beautiful crunchy crust which is a perfect contrast to the rich yet sweet duck. But done poorly and you can have a chewy fatty mess that you are more than likely to toss out. So I’ve created a list of helpful tips on achieving the most perfect seared duck breast.
Below are some great tips for cooking duck from Chef Bri.
Here are my tips when cooking duck:
- Use a Cast Iron Skillet– You may notice that I use my cast iron skillet a lot, and you should too! That duck fat you lay down on it will help season your pan! Plus they keep heat so well.
- Add a tiny bit of oil to the pan – I’m talking about maybe 1 tablespoon, just to help get that duck fat rendering. Don’t use too much or else you won’t render the fat, and you will be left with fat on your breast and no crunchy crust.
- Score the Skin and Fat– take a knife and gently score the skin and fat on the duck breast. Be careful though, don’t cut all the way down to the meat.
- Make sure your pan is Hot– Always make sure you pan is nice and hot when you place those breasts down. If you pan is not hot enough you won’t get the sear and color you are looking for.
- Always place the Breast Skin side Down– when ever you sear anything always sear with the presentation side down first!
- Don’t Touch– Its tempting but try not to move or touch the breast while its cooking, you don’t want to disturb that beautiful Maillard Reaction thats taking place.
- Cook to 122F then take it off the heat– Cook the duck breast to an internal temperature of 122F for rare and let it carry over cook to 125F. If you prefer more well done cook to 130F.
