Chef's Knife- "Broadside"

A design of our own creation, combining the best aspects of our favourite knives- it brings together the broad profile of a light cooking cleaver and the familiar versatility of a Western chef's knife. With a 6.5-inch blade and a generous 2-inch width, it has a stout, purposeful appearance, but remains light and agile in the hand.

The broad blade provides plenty of room for chopping, slicing and preparing a wide range of ingredients, while its compact length keeps it manoeuvrable and easy to control. From breaking down vegetables and working through everyday prep to scooping ingredients from the board, it offers the practicality of a cleaver-inspired design without the weight and bulk typically associated with one.

The blade is made from AEB-L stainless steel, chosen for its excellent cutting performance, fine edge and straightforward maintenance. Designed around versatility rather than a single task, this is a knife that can comfortably take on much of the work normally handled by a full-sized chef's knife.

The handle pairs a stabilised burr oak bolster with a bog oak handle, echoing the materials used in the Old & New Deba. An orange spacer provides a striking accent between the natural wood tones, adding a contemporary detail to an otherwise understated combination of materials.

Bold in profile but light in use, this original design offers a distinctive alternative to conventional kitchen knives, combining the working width of a cleaver with the agility and everyday usefulness of a chef's knife.
