DISCOVER WHAT MAKES OUR KNIVES SO SPECIAL

You don’t have to be a Michelin-starred chef to deserve your own custom knife. Though we’re lucky enough to have made knives for such culinary luminaries as Tom Aikens, Jasmine Hemsley and Matt Worswick, (to name but a few) we’ve also made thousands of knives for enthusiastic amateur cooks and as unforgettable gifts for hard-to-buy-for loved ones.

Investing in a Savernake custom knife will make you feel like an artist at the chopping board… Above and beyond everything, we’re passionate about making the best blades we possibly can. Balance, geometry, comfort, sharpness, weight and precision are our first priorities – once (and only once) we’re confident that our knife is a beautifully engineered tool, do we start to flesh out the aesthetics. We believe in a perfect fusion of world-class function and striking design.

EXPERIENCE THE SAVERNAKE DIFFERENCE

WORLD CLASS BLADES

In tests by CATRA (the Cutlery and Allied Trades Research Association) Savernake blades scored in the top 2.5% of knives tested and were rated ‘Outstanding’ for both initial sharpness and durability.

Each of our knives is tested for its hardness on the Rockwell C Scale, and we aim for 60. The higher the Rockwell number, the stronger and more durable the edge; but to achieve this you need absolutely the best steel – and thus why we have chosen Sandvik’s 14c28n after testing over 30 others.

Designed to weigh less, cut better and stay sharp for longer

Our signature concave blade profile results in knives that weigh considerably less, cut better and always delight with their balance and lightness.

The blade’s concavity allows the knife to have both a sturdy spine tapering to a cutting edge best measured in microns. It also removes excess weight and encumbrance from the side of the blade which is perfect for chef’s knives and kitchen knives. So everything becomes quicker and easier – unless, of course, you discover how enjoyable chopping things can be when you have a knife that’s poetry in your hand…

Sustainable Materials

From traditional woods and colourful stripes, to contemporary recycled or eco-friendly materials such as Richlite, Corian or Durat – and not forgetting the infinite design options offered by our G.F Smith paper range – we have selected and tested every single material primarily for its longevity and durability.

We pride ourselves on making that which is in our customers’ minds’ eye – and so if you can’t see exactly what you’re after, let us know and we’ll find a material just for you.

Easy to care for. Complimentary servicing included

Honed regularly using a simple steel, your Savernake knife should only need sharpening once or twice a year.

We include complimentary servicing and sharpening once a year for the first three years’ ownership. If you would like your knife handle re-oiling or the edge restoring, you’re welcome to return it to us and we’ll have it serviced and returned to you in a couple of days, so you’re not without it for too long.

lifetime guarantee

Savernake knives are guaranteed for life against blade or handle defects. And if you (or a helpful house guest) has unwittingly put your beloved Savernake through the dishwasher, we offer a handle repair service to make your knife as good as the day it first left our workshop.

Handcrafted in Wiltshire, England

We make each and every knife to order and to your exact specification here in our Wiltshire workshop.

Every knife is referred to by the name of who it’s for throughout the entire 50+ hours it takes to craft – we even mill it into the handle of the knife itself. And your order will be personally looked after by one of our knifemakers – we pride ourselves on our genuine, some might say, old fashioned levels of customer service. Definitely no automated email replies.

Designed to bring a lifetime of enjoyment to every day cooking

“I love cooking and spend a lot of time prepping. I have never used a knife that’s so precise and balanced. I’ve bought expensive knives in the past under the illusion they would be spectacular – but the products you guys make are a different class.”

Rhodri Johnstone – Savernake knife owner
