Description

Description

These knives are for those of you who want to explore some of our less mainstream blades. We have managed to source some particularly beautiful (and extremely durable) Tamboti from a sustainable source in southern Africa, and it’s the little hints of sapwood next to the glorious heartwood that really sets these knives apart. That and our wicked blades, of course…

There’s a huge amount to be said for The Astounding Cleaver: it gives you unparalleled travel if you’re using your knuckles as a guide, you can use it to scoop the fruits of your labours in to the pan and it has heft sufficient to deal with even the most agricultural examples of celeriac.

Herbs, meat and vegetables all fall by the wayside when The Savernake Knife arrives on the scene, and has long been our all-rounder of choice. We’ve loved this eponymous Nakiri since the moment we made it, and to this day it’s generally at the front of the pack when we’re getting someone to try our knives for the first time. It encompasses all we believe about weight, precision, balance and fun.

The Raven’s Claw is our version of a traditional Santoku – a shortish blade, a subtle rock and good knuckle clearance. If you’re looking for a medium sized blade to be at your side in perpetuity, then it’s a tight call between this ‘un and the Classic.

The G&T Slicer is a very handy little utility knife to have about the kitchen, with baby tomatoes, radishes and other items of that nature yielding to its meticulous geometry, while clearly it also excels at its original function of sitting on your drinks tray ready to liven up some gin.

The 10″ Butcher’s Knife does exactly what it says on the tin. Widely used by butchers for sectioning and preparing meat cuts, the long and sharp blade allows the knife to glide through meat with ease.

The Useful Boner is all you need to prepare birds and joints. It’s compact, robust and versatile. It provides both leverage and scope to get right into the nooks and crannies. We’ve crafted it to have just the right amount of flex, for those hard to reach places.
