About Svord: Master cutler Bryan Baker started his knife-making company in 1983, at 18, after being made redundant when the engineering firm he worked for closed. He turned a knife-making hobby into a business making high quality kitchen and outdoor knives at a reasonable price. Starting small, Svord has grown its range over the years and sells to many countries. Quality Swedish cutlery steel combined with Bryan's own heat treating and tempering is what gives Svord blades their cutting edge.

Care: Hand wash in warm soapy water and dry straight away. Never put it in the dishwasher. Oil the blade occasionally with a little olive or vegetable oil to protect against rust. Carbon steel develops a natural patina with use. 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.
