The relationship between craftspeople and the objects they make is something you can feel in the final product. We care deeply about understanding these relationships, visiting the makers we work with, and sharing their stories with our customers to bring each knife to life.

began in a backyard in South London and has grown into a world-renowned workshop tucked beneath a Victorian railway arch in Peckham. Using traditional forging methods and Japanese steel, they create blades that balance heritage, performance, and beauty. Every detail—from the hand-forged blades to the locally sourced wood handles—reflects their commitment to craft. We’re proud to carry their knives at Strata.
