Keep your cool

Our take on the larger end of the classic European-style chef’s knife. It’s not flashy, it hasn’t got any gimmicks – it’s just a very well-crafted, perfectly balanced cutting machine.

If someone wants to know what makes our knives so special, very often the simplest thing to do is to give them this knife to hold as while it looks like it’s going to weigh a tonne, but in fact it’s as joyous to hold and use as a scalpel. Comparisons are odious, and all that stuff, but we’d say it’s probably 50% of the weight of comparable knives in its size class. With a rigid spine, high knuckle clearance and incredible steel it keeps pulling away from the pack.

This fresh-looking version has a semi-translucent white onyx Corian handle – more commonly found in use as a kitchen worktop material, Corian makes a superb choice for knife handles as it’s extremely durable and stays cool to the touch – ideal in a hot kitchen environment. We also include a Richlite magnetic sheath to protect the blade when not in use.

Order before 2pm Monday to Friday and we can have this knife engraved and posted out for next day delivery to the UK at no additional charge.

As with every Savernake, the Brawny Chef features our trademark concave blade, expertly blended into a tapering convex cutting edge. The blade’s concavity allows the knife to have both a sturdy spine and a cutting edge best measured in microns. It also removes excess weight and encumbrance from the side of the blade and is – in short – the business.
