Hand Forged paring knife with whisky barrel handle. (Multi-purpose paring knife for veg, fish, and meat preparation, cheese and charcuterie).
 
From metal forging to hand finishing, all our products are sourced and crafted in our Scottish workshop.
 
The blade is hand forged in our workshop. For this piece of cutlery we have use modern high carbon "Spicy White" steel - it is given this name for its super fine grain structure which gives a hard wearing, consistently sharp edge. Ideal for cutlery. We work the steel by hand to give you the most authentic blacksmithing experience.
 
The blade is heat treated and tempered in house. The blade design is my own interpretation of a functional but aesthetically pleasing kitchen tool that can stand up to the everyday use, combining traditional Scottish and Japanese traditional cutlery styles.
Also loosely based on the sgian achlais 
 
The handle has been hand made from locally sourced Red Deer Antler. These materials are ideal for kitchen cutlery for their anti-bacterial properties. The handle has a Japanese style profile, making light weight. The handle is treated with environmentally friendly beeswax (sourced from a local farm) to give a beautiful, long lasting, lustre.
 
Ideal for all kinds of food preparation but well suited for meat, fish and veg prep as well as cheese andd charcuterie (and making you look the bee's knees in the kitchen).
 
A perfect, special gift adding a touch of pleasure to every meal, whether it is in a professional kitchen or your own home.
