🤩 Review! ⬇️

“As a professional Chef with more years of experience than I care to admit 😆 you might be right in thinking I know a bit about chefs knives 🔪

I was very fortunate to be given a very special custom forged knife for Christmas from my wife, and I just wanted to give a shout-out to the maker of this knife who is a Barossa Valley local small business and deserves all the recognition that I can heap upon him.

My new knife is by far the best knife I’ve had in my long career and is a testament to the skills of this local artisan.

Barry Gardner is a local Angaston resident who owns and operates from his tiny workshop at Seppeltsfield.

Take it from me; if you are after a truly magnificent inife, then check out Barry’s work at either his workshop or at Sunshine Barossa Australia who also stock his knives.”

Thank you CaterCentral! Absolute pleasure to have one of our pieces in your tool kit 🙂

SCANDI HUNTER // Available now.

Blade length: 150mm
OAL: 270mm (approx. 6 inches)

Baz loves this knife. He’d probably keep it if he had something to hunt. 😜

He has been making and perfecting the shape and weight in Scandi hunting knives for many years. These knives are a premium product, they take a long time to make and finish and do not come up for sale very often… maybe once or twice per year. This is a rare opportunity to purchase a Scandi-style hunter made by Barry Gardner.

This knife will be listed on our online store shortly.
