Savernake Knives
Everything we list from Savernake Knives
Where Wiltshire
Savernake is the ancient royal forest on whose edge we sit. Our workshop is a converted 1854 sawmill. The name felt right from the start, and it has yet to feel wrong. Every knife begins with CAD, machined to tolerances measured in microns. From there it moves to the makers: shaping, thinning, assembly, finishing, sharpening, all done by hand, by eye, by people who have made several thousand knives and know what right feels like. Heat treatment is where good steel becomes a good knife, or doesn't. Ours runs in batches of six because the precision required is genuinely difficult to maintain at scale. The blade is heated to 1,080 degrees C, quenched in under 120 seconds, then taken to -75 degrees C.
