Throughout her career as a chef, Clare tried hundreds of kitchen knives to create a definitive set, but piecing it together took years.
Determined to equip home cooks with a single, exceptional knife collection, she set up Cutler & Smyth in partnership with British master cutlers.
Passion in every blade
Each Cutler & Smyth knife, crafted using Sheffield steel and pioneering Richlite, embodies Clare’s respect for tradition, dedication to quality, and commitment to the environment.
For Clare, it’s more than just a knife — it’s about igniting a spark in every home cook. She believes that when a high-quality and beautiful knife is in the hands of someone who has learned to use and care for it, it will transform how they approach cooking now and for years to come.
“I’ve condensed a lifetime of kitchen know-how into these knives — they’re like the superheroes of kitchen prep. I’m all about getting people excited for home cooking and when you’ve got the right tools, it becomes a joy.
Designing the knives wasn’t just about function; it was about capturing that perfect blend of form and function, the satisfaction you get from using them. This range is like the best of all worlds rolled into one.”
