Stratus VIII Duo

Savernake Knives

£285

Two knives, one handle, six months of making. No two alike. The Stratus VIII Duo pairs the two knives we d put in front of anyone who wanted to cover almost everything with just two blades. The Gyuto handles the board rocking through prep, long drawing slices, anything that needs length and a fluid motion. The Agile Yeoman takes care of the rest: in-hand work, carving a chicken, filleting a fish, anything that doesn t need a chef s knife but deserves a proper one. Between them there is very little they won t do, and very little overlap. What sets this pair apart is the handle. We use a lot of

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.
