The Maker
I’m Jake, a knife maker based in Essex with a lifelong passion for the craft of cooking and the tools that make it possible. I began my career as a chef at just fifteen, spending years in professional kitchens where I learned the value of well-balanced, reliable Knives. After an injury forced me to step away from the kitchen, I found a new way to stay connected to my love of food - by creating the knives themselves.
Every knife I make is built with the same care and precision I once brought to the plate. I use high-quality steels and prioritise heat treatment to ensure exceptional performance and edge retention. Wherever possible, I incorporate reclaimed and British materials, combining sustainability with craftsmanship.
My focus is on detail, balance, and longevity — knives that not only perform beautifully, but also tell a story. Each piece is made by hand, with a commitment to aesthetics, function, and the enduring satisfaction that only a truly well-made tool can provide.
