Welcome to my knife shop😀 You will find new items here for sale most every week. I have found I am more productive and push myself further producing work to sell here on my website. Therefore I no longer take any kind of custom order or reserve items for people. I find it better to concentrate on making the very best quality work and be able to offer more items for sale. These days I use Instagram to show my working process, and I also use Instagram to give notifications of new stock, and to Auction one off items. I intend to add a fresh Mailing list for a simple notification of when new knives come in stock for those who do not use Instagram, which I will add here shortly.
178mm forged geometry Petty.
£368.00
Sold out
Lovely forged geometry petty in pure iron clad 1.2442. Water quenched.
Forged geometry is forging a large difference in thickness between the spine and the edge, The principle is to allow thinner lower geometry whilst maintaining a break in angle, so the narrow bevel on these cuts with incredibly low friction combined with a decent amount of weight , thickness and stiffness. It is also a joy to maintain on the stones.
This one comes with a nice kasumi from jns 1k and the edge will have a tickle on a natural. This steel with a water quench is lovely very hard , easy to debur, surprisingly tough for its hardness, but this is a hard very thin edge tool so can chip on bone, grit, other steel etc, Tune the edge for your use.
This is iron, carbon can rust , becomes nice and stable with a patina.

230mm special edition Cleaver in c105 pure carbon and damascus.
£686.00
Sold out
Very Special choice of materials, the very limited c105 pure carbon steel, this was made to insanely high spec, low impurity in the 1980s. It’s a very simple 1%carbon steel with no alloy, that thanks to its low impurity , moderate carbon content, is super fine carbide, and has exceptional toughness, this allows for my purpose it to be used extremely hard, in this case it will be pushing 66hrc, because it is such a simple steel sharpening is a joy even at full hardeness. This is the easiest steel I have ever used as far as easy sharpening, you can have a screaming sharp edge just off a 1k…. And this is the beauty of simple carbon steels.
The cladding is a Damascus from the c105 and wrought iron, making a nice low layer low carbon steel effectively , but with layers that contrast off the stones, no etching necessary.
The Forging is very extreme , it does not feel laser like though it holds some weight at 336g, no flex, It’s a beast with relatively thin geometry, enough meat in the bevel for control. Push cut dream machine, cabbage slayer ;)
Not essential but you will get more enjoyment from this knife if you have a nice mid grit JNat at least. Can advise if necessary.
