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.”
Drop Point
A blade shape with a curved edge and a spine that also curves gently downward toward the tip. This creates a strong, spear-like profile that reinforces the tip. A classic general-purpose blade design, it is a mainstay of traditional hunting and outdoor knives.

San mai technique
Hand wash and dry
No dishwasher
Hand wash your knife with warm water and mild dish soap when cutting tasks are finished. Dry immediately after use.
Under no circumstances place your knife in a dishwasher or leave it soaking for extended periods in the sink.
Following our general care instructions will help preserve your knife’s longevity and performance. Visit our care guide for additional information.
Please Note: High-carbon and mild-carbon steel will discolor and darken over time, especially in the presence of acidic foods. It’s normal for a blackish/blue patina to form due to oxidation. Patina tells the story of the unique relationship between a knife and its user.
