Oak, brass and Fat Carbon in the same set. It shouldn’t work. It absolutely does.

A great challenge is how to make a set that looks like a set but isn’t overly identical. Sometimes having exquisitely aligned and identical designs is spot on, sometimes we want to break things up a little.
The glove was laid down by a customer for his 50th birthday – photographs of kitchens were received and inwardly digested, emails pinged back and forth, and at last the original Imperator Set was born. This is our take on the same aesthetic – three knives with fantastic brown English oak burl, pressure-stabilised in resin, with subtle brass pins and liners and then another two with Fat Carbon’s magnificent Gold Camo. We chose the Mini Cleaver (an hugely under-rated particular favourite of ours) and the Good Chopper to go down this route, leaving the oak and brass to cover the rather more graceful Extreme Slicer, Stout Yeoman and Classic.
We can, of course, swap the liner colours and materials and the Fat Carbon for your own take on things, but we’re smitten by how this turned out, and as always have strived to make sure our larger sets have as little practical overlap between blades as possible.
