Project Description
Our passion for cooking, nature, and beautiful kitchen knife designs - coupled with our firm belief that a kitchen knife is so much more than just a tool - brought these knives to life. We wanted to create kitchen knives that convey a distinct yet elegant expression. Products you will want to use as decorative items in your home and feel inspired by when using. Knives that not only feel great to work with but also look great in your home. And most importantly: knives that will last a life-time.
It took over 18 months of design and product development to finalize the knives: a 20 cm chef's knife and a 23 cm bread knife. They feature premium steels and a unique handle made of 13 separate discs in solid brass and either high quality recyclable PMMA or natural sustainable walnut wood that are assembled by hand on the extended knife tang. The weight of the handle balances the knives perfectly, making it rest very comfortably in the hand of the user. The knives are available in 6 different handle color schemes. The PMMA is hand blended in order to create a flowing pattern in each handle. Making every knife unique. Each knife is also individually numbered to highlight this aspect.
