East of the Ranges Petty Chef Knife

This one-of-a-kind East of the Ranges Petty Chef Knife embodies the rugged heritage of New Zealand's landscapes and the mastery of artisanal forging.

Handcrafted from mono 1084 high-carbon steel, it delivers superior sharpness and durability for precise slicing, peeling, and detailed kitchen work—its hidden tang providing optimal balance and comfort in the hand. The blade's fire-scorched, hammered finish reveals the genuine imprints of its forged-by-hand authenticity.

The handle blends stabilised Wairarapa redwood—sourced from late-1800s settlement-era plantings, with bold crimson grains—and an accent of stabilised Hawke's Bay poplar burl, from mature trees planted for erosion control and shelterbelts in the region since the late 19th century, adding swirling, dynamic patterns.

More than a versatile utility blade, the East of the Ranges Petty Chef Knife is a forged artifact that intertwines the tales of Wairarapa's deep-rooted woodlands and Hawke's Bay's resilient farmlands.

Comes with a custom Wairarapa Totara fencepost display stand.
