Nestled beneath the St. Johns Bridge in North Portland, Cathedral Park takes its name from the bridge’s soaring arches, reminiscent of Gothic cathedral architecture. An iconic North Portland landmark, and a defining part of the neighborhood both Jamison and Acre call home, the bridge gives the Cathedral its shape. Its broad, leaf-shaped tip echoes the graceful arches, while jade and evergreen liners draw from the bridge’s distinctive color. The Cathedral chef knife is a beautiful option for cooks who want an easy-to-use, low-maintenance tool.

Jamison Chopp

Jamison Chopp grew up making furniture and considered pursuing it as a career after college, until he discovered knifemaking — a craft that wove together his interests in both wood and metalwork. After apprenticing at Carter Cutlery, where he mastered traditional Japanese lines, shapes, and patterns, Jamison opened his own shop before eventually rejoining his former colleagues at Acre Knife.

At Acre, Jamison lets organic patterns of forged steel speak for themselves. “I try to find beauty and refinement in simplicity instead of complexity. There’s no detail about a knife that I don’t pour myself into creatively. I’ve never been obsessed with perfection; I want you to look at my knives and know that they’re handmade.”
