15cm Chef’s Knife
£275.00
We’re not fans of the catering-school-knife-manufacturer’s industrial complex, and don’t think you need a set of 20 knives as a minimum to get cracking in the kitchen.
In fact we firmly believe that personal choice and personal preference is paramount.
On the other hand, we also believe that it’s possible to make little tweaks that don’t take people out of their comfort zone but do make them a lot happier.
Our Agile Yeoman is very popular amongst those who like a smaller knife in the kitchen, but as a main knife it has the obvious shortcomings of almost no knuckle clearance and very little ‘rock’ on the blade.
The Compact Chef was born by simply taking the Agile Yeoman, attending to its main-knife-weaknesses, and re-presenting it as a pleasingly small knife that will also functions beautifully as the go-to blade in a kitchen.
Each custom blade is made from scratch using a unique combination of aerospace technology and hand craftsmanship, resulting in a blade geometry that’s exclusive to Savernake—delivering unparalleled edge quality in knives that are lightweight, perfectly balanced, and best in their class.
