11cm Small Utility Why choose this knife Bigger than a paring knife but still small and designed for off-the-board work. A handle that actually fits the hand comfortably, able to work on a board when needed. Dimensions Blade 11.5cm. Overall 23.8cm. Depth 2.6cm. Weight 100g. The Story The name comes from somewhere between a Dickens novel, an old sketch show, and a cavalry officer of our acquaintance who was both stout and a yeoman in the Yeomanry. The connection is dependability. Most small-bladed knives are fitted with a small handle, which is uncomfortable and slightly annoying. We gave this

Where this comes from

The part other shops don't tell you. Three separate questions, kept separate on purpose, each with its source.

UK company
Registered at Companies House as Savernake Knives Limited, number 10826561. Checked 2026-08-29.
Means the business is a British legal entity, not a British-sounding name owned elsewhere. It says nothing about where anything is made.
UK operations
Stated by the company: "our workshop is a converted 1854 sawmill in Wiltshire" Source.
Means people employed here, or premises they actually work from. We keep this separate from the company badge because a registered office can be an accountant's spare room, and a company can be registered in Britain while everything it does happens somewhere else. Where we have not looked, we say so rather than assuming.
British-owned
No majority shareholding traced outside the UK. Companies House.
Read from the register of people with significant control, following the chain of holding companies. It does not gate anything: a firm can be made here and owned elsewhere, and that is worth telling you rather than hiding.
Where it is made
The maker doesn't say, so neither do we.
This is about the individual product, not the company. A British firm can sell things made abroad, which is normal and not a criticism. We would rather tell you which is which than average them into a score.
