— The Name

Micah — act justly, love mercy, walk humbly. An American-made chef's knife, crafted alongside Jean-Paul by Dawson Knives — and 10% of every knife sold supports the Edible Schoolyard in New Orleans, teaching inner-city youth about sustainable, organic food and nutrition.

— The Build

Made to be used.

Böhler N690 stainless — razor-sharp from tip to heel and balanced for real work: mincing herbs, breaking down proteins, clean slicing through a long service. Jean-Paul carried it as his primary knife on Food Network's Chopped: Castaways. Designed with the Dawson family, born from two decades in professional kitchens and a shared belief in building things that last.

"Treat the mark like a knife — kept sharp, kept clean, used for one thing at a time."

— The Field Guide
— The Why

Every knife feeds a classroom.

Ten percent of every Micah supports Edible Schoolyard New Orleans — a garden-to-table program reaching roughly 2,900 Pre-K through 8th-grade students with hands-on garden and culinary education. Kids grow it, cook it, and learn where real food comes from. That's the why behind the knife: a tool built to last, funding lessons that do the same.
