What is “Jimping”?
Knife ‘jimping’ originated from north england and the scotland regions of the world. the term ‘jimping’ means; neat, handsome, and slender in form. it is the process of placing groves into the knife blade at its spine. This provides traction for the fingertips from slipping when using a knife. Worldwide, the knife industry uses many methods to machine cut (or jimp), their knives yet still reference it as jimping. Authentic ‘jimping’ is called file-work and is done by hand. Its application evolves a talented and trained hand with many generations of experience! Jimping may be machine-cut by automated slitters, mills, or blades, but file work must be hand cut.
