Pip's Carver
Of The Moment (as ever).
From £350.00

A helping hand for halibut and hog
We were introduced to Pip Lacey (of Hicce fame) through the wonderful Margaret at G F Smith. She was after a knife that she could use to both carve and prepare fish, but was struggling to find one that had a handle that was comfortable enough to use for hours in the kitchen.
And so we made her this knife and were – in our usual modest way – quite pleased with how it turned out, sufficient to want to offer it to other folks out there with the same conundrum. With just the right amount of flex, and kept razor sharp, this knife is perfect for all those tasks where a conventional, straighter carving knife isn’t the answer; preparing a large gammon, filleting a splendid salmon or breaking down a large rack of beef ribs.
As with every Savernake, Pip’s Carver 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.
Highlights
- "Outstanding" sharpness and edge durability
- 60 HRC Sandvik 14c28n
- Designed for gentle, frequent maintenance on a steel
- Filleting, Slicing, Fine Work

Covid 19 Update
To ensure the safety and well being of our small team of knife makers we have implemented additional measures in our workshop to enable us to continue to make custom knives and accessories. The need for us to minimise the number of people in any one area of the workshop at any given time – plus ensuring all knives are sanitised prior to posting – means that our average lead time is currently around 4 to 6 weeks.
- Every Savernake product is made to order. The quest for perfection takes time, so in normal circumstances please allow 3-4 weeks for your order to arrive (see below for Gift Boxes, Cards & Panic Department).
- Need it sooner? Please get in touch and we’ll always do our best to help.
