Bone handle chef knife by Lorimer Knives made in Central Otago, New Zealand

A very special knife for all kitchen prep made by the acclaimed team at Lorimer Knives. With a sharp tool steel 20cm blade, brass bolsters and a beautifully finished cow bone handle, this will be the best knife in your kitchen. Each knife is unique as the grain of bone will vary.

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.
