I make kitchen knives with interesting stories connected to them.

With the handles, I try to source wood that comes from interesting places or that had an interesting former use. For example, Italian olive groves, or 4,000 year old oak from England and Ireland, or 50,000 year old New Zealand Kauri, or simply wood that was part of a house, bridge, boat, vineyard, or private garden. Sometimes, for something different, I make handles with vibrant colours and patterns.

My blades are intended to be both beautiful and practical, and easy to look after. And that is why stainless steel is my standard fare - it is not going to let you down. But I can also make a knife with pretty-much any steel you like.

My knives are built to last for generations. - to become heirlooms. To be pieces of art that you hold in your hand and use every day.

If you see something on my site that you like, but it is already sold, let’s have a chat about making a knife in a similar style for you. But please bear in mind it won’t be exactly the same, because my knives are made by hand and each one is different in its own way. Send me a screen shot of what you like and let’s see what I can do.

Custom Made

Have you ever thought about having a kitchen knife made for you? To your specific preference or design. For example, a special shape, style or size; or with wood from a favourite place, or your childhood house, or a much-loved piece of furniture (for example, I made a piece with the wood for the handle coming from my grandmother’s dining table). I can also do all sorts of things with old steel. Please say hi if you would like to throw some ideas around. Please click here to message me on Instagram or here to email me. I also have Whatsapp.
