About Forest & Forge knives

When you buy one of these made-in-Sheffield knives with handles crafted from a range of woods responsibly sourced in England, you’re buying the very best of British. They’re so expertly crafted that Forest & Forge are delighted to offer a 25-year manufacturer’s guarantee, so whether you choose just one knife from the range, or one of each – all with different types of wood handles – you’ll have peace of mind that your money’s well spent.

Expertly made in Sheffield

There’s a lot to love about these eco-friendly British-made knives, but let’s start with the super sharp blades. Made in Sheffield where there’s a long tradition of knife craftsmanship, the fully forged, full tang blade is expertly honed from high carbon steel (Rockwell 53-55 steel, if we’re getting technical) for the perfect mix of sharpness and longevity. Offering precision with every slice, they’re a delight to hold and work with, and the reclaimed wood handles make them easy on the eye, too.

Each one is unique

The UK’s trees are many a varied thing, and they inspired Forest & Forge to mix things up a bit when choosing the native English hardwoods for the wooden handles. And it has definitely paid off. Using wood from cherry, ash, beech and horse chestnut trees makes each of the knives in this range subtly different in grain and colour; no two are exactly the same, yet they work wonderfully as a collection. Good news, as when you’ve used one, we think you’ll want the full set.

Responsibly sourced wooden handles

As well as looking gorgeous and feeling wonderfully balanced in the hand, the traditional wooden handles have fantastic eco credentials, too. They’re made from reclaimed wood sourced from tree surgeons who manage country estates near Malton in North Yorkshire. Over time, due to pruning, fallen branches or storm damage, the tree surgeons have a surplus of wood; anything that’s just too beautiful not to use is carefully selected and supplied to Forest & Forge, ready to be crafted into these stunning knives.

Gift-boxed presentation

There isn’t a home cook or aspiring chef who wouldn’t appreciate the provenance and craftsmanship that’s gone into these UK-made knives, so each one comes attractively gift-boxed, ready to be received, admired and cherished over many years of use.

25-year manufacturer’s guarantee.
