Thomas, a fitted leather sheath and a mineral oil. Exclusive Black Friday Offer at 20% off.

Thomas is the ideal small kitchen knife for your quick cooking tasks.

Its 13cm blade is a multi-purpose tool and a great little everyday knife. This utility-style knife has a nice width, making it nicer when dicing on a board. Nimble for chopping herbs, cutting vegetables for a salad, slicing garlic, shallots, tomato, lemons, and lime, or sneaking the slice of cheese off the block after a long day's work. It is the perfect grab-and-go knife for those small, quick kitchen jobs. The ideal knife for young hands learning the ropes in the kitchen.

It comes with our buffalo Leather Sheath, cut for this blade so the edge isn't knocking about in a drawer, and our Mineral Oil. Carbon steel reacts, and a wipe of oil before it goes away is the whole answer. Most people work that out a fortnight after they've bought their first one. This way it's already in the box.

Steel Details

Made with high-carbon steel, heat-treated for a hard, sharp edge. Builds character over time and rewards simple care with a knife that keeps getting better.

Why Get A Bundle?

Handcrafted Knives Are Special

Every blade is forged and finished by hand, so no two come out quite the same. The kurouchi finish off the forge, the grain in the padauk, the way the patina settles once you start cooking with it. It didn’t roll off a line and it won’t behave like one, which is exactly the point.

A sheath thats beautiful & practical

A knife like this shouldn’t be rattling around loose in a drawer with everything else. The leather is cut for that blade, so the edge is protected and so are your fingers when you reach in. It also means you can take it to a mate’s place or out to the barbecue without wrapping it in a tea towel.

Together with an oil they give you the best

Carbon steel reacts. Most people find that out a fortnight in, when a spot of rust appears and they’re not sure what they did wrong. A wipe of mineral oil before it goes in the drawer is the whole answer, and it’s the one thing nobody tells you until you’ve already bought the knife. We’d rather it was in the box.

Common Questions

What Is Carbon Steel?

It’s steel with more carbon in it and none of the chromium that makes stainless stainless. That extra carbon is what lets us harden the blade properly when it’s heat treated, and a harder blade is one you can grind thinner and have it stay sharp. The trade off is the chromium we left out, because that’s the bit that stops steel rusting.

Will they rust?

It will if you leave it wet. Rinse and dry it after you’ve used it and you’ll have no trouble. That’s exactly why the oil is in this box rather than something you find out you needed a fortnight later.

What’s in the bundle?

The knife, a leather sheath cut for that blade, and a bottle of mineral oil. The knife, the thing that protects it, and the thing that keeps it right.

Why does it need a sheath?

Because a knife this sharp shouldn’t be loose in a drawer with everything else. The leather is cut for that blade, so the edge is protected and so are your fingers when you reach in. It also means you can take it somewhere without wrapping it in a tea towel.

Is this a good way to start with carbon steel?

It’s the way we’d recommend. Carbon steel asks a bit more of you than stainless, and almost everyone works that out after they’ve bought their first one. This way the sheath and the oil are already in the box.

How do I care for it?

Wash by hand, dry it straight away, never the dishwasher. A wipe of the mineral oil before it goes in the drawer and you’ll never have a problem. The patina that builds up is normal and it protects the blade.

Do I need anything else?

No. A wooden board is kinder to the edge than glass or stone, and a honing rod is worth having further down the track, but nothing else is required to use it properly.

When will it ship?

The earlier you order the better. We do have limited stock but there is more on the way. Most orders go out within a couple of days, and everything is dispatched by 30 November at the latest, which puts it with you well before Christmas.

Where are they made?

All these are crafted in Vietnam.

Is the mineral oil included?

It is, it's in the box. We sell it separately alongside the single knives, but most people buying this set are new to carbon steel & the oil is the single easiest thing you can do to look after it. Didn't feel right making you add it yourself.
