"Time to clear out the “spatulas and stuff” drawer in your kitchen and swap in an actual, intentional collection."

Let's start with The Fundamentals

One big knife, one small knife. Our high-performance knives are made from cryogenically-tempered Japanese stainless steel and high carbon with Santoku-inspired tips, making them meticulously sharp and incredibly resilient.

A base made of FSC-certified wood, with a hidden magnet for proper knife storage.

Four stainless steel tools, each with a trick up their sleeves.

Made of heirloom-quality materials, designed to be used for years and get better with age.

Nearly everything you need

It’s really practical - doesn’t take up too much counter space and looks great. I’d love scissors in there and for the base to rotate - always wanting more!
