Three things hold Steady together.
German steel, titanium-finished.
A forged core of German 1.4116 steel, shielded by a PVD Titanium Nitride finish tuned for the kitchen counter, not the cabinet.
Drawn from a single piece.
One gesture, one material, one object. Blade, bolster, and handle are pressed and ground from a single billet — no pins, no seams, nothing to trap what you cooked last night.
Boring in the best way.
A matte silver silhouette that vanishes on a walnut board. No logo on the blade. No decorative flourish. A tool that lets the ingredient speak — boring in the best way.
A Conversation
Between Three Eras.
- 1909 · Solingen How strong? The first generation, forged in German steel, built to outlast the cook.
- 1950s · Damascus How beautiful? Mid-century pattern-welding turned the blade into a quiet kind of jewelry.
- 2026 · HomebodyPlus What happens at 9pm? The third question — about the sink, the wipe, the second half of the meal.
The core is steel; the shield is titanium.
Two of Us. One Cat.
A Small Kitchen Counter.
We sketched Steady on a notebook — sixteen iterations, every clever flourish thrown out — until what stayed was simply what works at 9pm on a Tuesday.
