"The hope of two craftsmen coming together is that they can just talk and then give each other space to go. I love that process more than anything." - Chef Chris Hastings

Chris Hastings

Tom Beckbe's foray into the culinary world began after a December quail hunt in Bibb County, Alabama. Chris Hastings, the James Beard Award winning chef and co-owner of Birmingham's Hot & Hot Fish Club, prepared lunch for his fellow weary sportsmen. Chris lamented the impracticality of his current knife roll, and Tom Beckbe founder Radcliff Menge offered to help create a better one. The result is an essential tool for anyone serious about cooking: the Chef's Knife Roll.

Our latest collaboration with the Van Winkles dates back over seven years. In the fall of 2017, Tom Beckbe founder Radcliff Menge was less than six months out from leaving his full-time law practice when he connected with the Van Winkle sisters and created an idea for an exclusive, limited edition Tensaw Jacket in a now very collectable “stave brown” color. Individually numbered and signed by Julian Van Winkle III, a true visionary in the bourbon industry, those 100 jackets now trade at a heavy premium in the secondary market. 

We’re delighted to renew the collaboration this fall and even more excited to offer the women’s Blakeley Jacket in the same colorway, which only seemed fitting for a collaboration with three amazing sisters.
