SY11 Small Utility (W&S)

Tackle those fiddly tasks comfortably

Slightly larger than a traditional paring knife, the SY11 is small enough to tackle intricate tasks yet the handle is still inordinately comfortable and will sit perfectly in the palm for hours and hours.

We also think that smaller knives have an unsung role to play when carving; instead of sticking your elbow up in the air like a demented violinist, determined to poke out the last bits of roast lamb, take a small knife and accomplish the task both more easily and slightly less embarrassingly.

To accompany the blade choose from a curated range of woods that not only look the business, but are selected for their durability. We’ve some glorious Yew from a Hampshire graveyard, British Oak (in both the regular and brown varieties), some lovely Tamboti showing off the heartwood and the sapwood together, some gnarly and fascinating Wild Mango, the ever-playful Wild Olive and last – but certainly not least – possibly our favourite wood of all time, the glorious Mozambican Mopane.
