Timber handled chef's knife by Lorimer Knives made in Central Otago, New Zealand

A very special knife for all kitchen preparation by the acclaimed team at Lorimer Knives. Sharp tool steel 20cm blade, brass bolsters and a beautifully finished handle. Each knife is unique: the timber and grain varies and is always beautiful.

Jamie Pickford now heads up the business with founder Peter Lorimer overseeing all aspects of the process from forging, grinding and hardening the blades to making the boxes that carry them.

Stamped with knife makers signature and packaged in wooden box.

Care Instructions: The blade is tool steel, prized by knifemakers because it holds a sharp edge for a long time. It's rust-resistant but not fully stainless, so hand wash and dry straight away, and never put it in the dishwasher or leave it wet. Have it professionally sharpened about once a year, or whenever it starts to feel dull. In Christchurch we recommend KASS Sharpening Services on St Asaph Street.
