The steel varies by knife. Current Middleton Made pieces use premium stainless steels including Sandvik 14C28N, AEB-L, and Nitro-V, selected for qualities such as sharpness, edge retention, toughness, and corrosion resistance. Some Signature pieces also use Damascus and San Mai constructions.

Middleton Made’s bespoke and handcrafted knives are made in South Carolina. The brand’s About page identifies Quintin’s longtime workshop roots in Saint Stephen, South Carolina, while its current retail location is in North Charleston. Product pages for pieces such as the Daisho Set specifically state they are made by hand in Saint Stephen by Quintin Middleton and his team

No. Middleton Made explicitly recommends hand washing only. The company advises washing the knife soon after use, drying it immediately, and storing it safely. Its limited warranty is void if the knife is washed in a dishwasher.

Middleton Made recommends regular maintenance with a honing steel or sharpening stone, and sharpening when needed. The brand also advises using wood cutting boards rather than hard stone surfaces such as granite or marble, which can dull or damage the edge.

Middleton Made provides a limited lifetime warranty to the original owner against manufacturing defects in materials and construction, provided the knife is properly used and maintained. Normal wear, rust from improper care, accidental damage, misuse, loss, and theft are excluded.

The current collection includes the Echo 8" Chef Knife, Echo 6" Nakiri, Echo 4" Paring Knife, Daisho Set, custom chef and utility knives, Damascus and San Mai pieces, and the Geechee Boy Series. Signature knives are often one-of-one pieces with distinctive woods, resins, and premium blade constructions.
