A helping hand for halibut and hog

We were introduced to Pip Lacey (of Hicce fame) through the wonderful Margaret at G F Smith. She was after a knife that she could use to both carve and prepare fish, but was struggling to find one that had a handle that was comfortable enough to use for hours in the kitchen.

And so we made her this knife and were – in our usual modest way – quite pleased with how it turned out, sufficient to want to offer it to other folks out there with the same conundrum. With just the right amount of flex, and kept razor sharp, this knife is perfect for all those tasks where a conventional, straighter carving knife isn’t the answer; preparing a large gammon, filleting a splendid salmon or breaking down a large rack of beef ribs.

As with every Savernake, Pip’s Carver features our trademark concave blade, expertly blended into a tapering convex cutting edge. The blade’s concavity allows the knife to have both a sturdy spine and a cutting edge best measured in microns. It also removes excess weight and encumbrance from the side of the blade and is – in short – the business.
