Introducing Cutler & Smyth, a collection of exceptional kitchen knives by Chef Clare Smyth, designed in partnership with British master cutlers.
Created to transform the way you approach cooking, Cutler & Smyth knives are balanced. precise, and made to be loved for a lifetime.
Every Cutler & Smyth knife comes to life at our workshop in the West Country.
Blades start as strips of SF100 stainless steel, which are laser-cut into individual blanks. These are batch-hardened to 1080ºC for optimal strength, then cooled and tempered. Using CNC technology, we then precision-grind the blades to exact specifications before finishing each one by hand.
Our handles are crafted using bespoke tooling on a CNC router to create components from Richlite's Black Diamond. Each element is then assembled with brass custom-made rivets and a mosaic centre pin, shaped, and polished by our cutlers.
Finally, every knife undergoes the ultimate test — hand sharpening to razor-like precision.
This painstaking process combining tradition with technology results in knives that are not just tools, but beautiful design pieces in their own right.
“Collaborating with a Michelin-starred chef takes knife-making to the next level. Clare knows her onions — literally. Her years of training and experience, combined with our technical expertise and passion for making the best blades we possibly can, has resulted in exceptional knives that are a joy to use.”
