Our Carver collection.

Designed to add some extra power and versatility to your kitchen, this collection is perfect for the professional or enthusiast who has several knives already.

This set of three knives are your dining table companions, whether you are carving ham, roast or sourdough. The 'Croc' has deep, angular serrations for slicing bread or fatty meats like pork, the 'Dingo' is a 20cm carver with a nice weight distribution to keep each slice even and smooth, and the 'Koala' is great for the fiddly in-between tasks like removing bones or trussing. 

If you'd like engraving on your blades just send us a note or give us a call - 0488 050 055. We have a laser engraver in the shed so we can even engrave on the spine :)

Handles for each knife can be chosen - feel to contact us regarding what is in stock 

*Please Note: Handles are made using Australian wood burl (roots) so each knife is unique. The images attached are for guiding purposes, so wood grain and resin will vary between individual knives (not the same as the one in the picture).

Description

VG10 high carbon Japanese steel construction with sandblast finish.

The high carbon content core ensures a razor-sharp cutting edge, clad with stainless steel for protection. Sandblasting the top section of the blade seemed fitting for an Australian knife. From the beaches in Bondi to the dunes on Birdsville, we stand on a sandy country. Practically, this creates a non-stick surface to help glide through vegetables without sticking.

Our wood handles are sourced from the length and breadth of Australia. We fossick for intriguing and symbolic woods for our handles such as Gidgee from the Simpson Desert which we think pays great homage to the Australian 'Big Red' outback. 

See below for detailed dimensions for all knives in the collection:

An Edge in the Kitchen

Edge retention is crucial for keeping your knives razor sharp. We choose rock-hard steel at 60HRC to ensure your edge is Hattori Hanzō sharp out of the box, and keeps its edge for much longer than other knives.

QUALITY JAPANESE ENGINEERING

Our blades are forged in Japan by Takefu Steel. We select VG10 steel for its high carbon content, corrosion resistance and quenched hardness. This results in a knife with incredible sharpness, balance and toughness.

INSATIABLE FORAGERS AND TINKERERS

We gather symbolic and interesting woods from our surroundings to make unique handles. Each piece carries a story and origin, set into coloured resin to create functional art in your kitchen.
