Ancient Bog Oak & Recycled Plastic - 150mm Petty

£345.00

This knife is a journey through time. Its handle combines ancient bog oak, sunk in an East Anglian bog over 5,000 years ago, with recycled plastic, transformed in recent years by the family-run Smile Plastics in Wales. Together, they form a meeting of history and the present, shaped into a Rokkaku Hanmaru museum-fit handle: a modern take on the traditional octagonal Wa handle, with rounded sides and bottom for comfort and elegance, designed so the seams are celebrated rather than hidden.

The blade, crafted from Silver Fox 100, a 95% recycled Sheffield stainless steel, performs as beautifully as it looks.

This knife design has become a firm favourite in the North Knives kitchen. A daily driver that is comfortable and lightweight. A true all-rounder, it offers the dexterity a bigger knife doesn’t and the versatility that a small knife can’t compete with.

A refined petty, versatile, and sustainable. Can you get a more sustainable knife?

Specifications:

  • Hardness: 60 HRC (±1.5)

  • Sharpening angle: 15° per side

  • Convex grind to aid food release

  • Weight: 122.5g

  • Luxury soft case included
