Introducing Cutler & Smyth

Discover a collection of exceptional kitchen knives by Michelin-starred chef Clare Smyth, designed in partnership with British master cutlers.

Made to transform the way you approach cooking, Cutler & Smyth knives are balanced, precise and made to be loved for a lifetime.

From stars to steel

Clare Smyth MBE is the first British female chef to run a restaurant with three Michelin stars.

Her journey with food began on a farm in Country Antrim in Northern Ireland, where she grew up. Since moving to England at the age of 16, she has trained and worked in some of the most celebrated kitchens in the world.

She launched her restaurant Core by Clare Smyth in London in 2017 and Oncore in Sydney in 2021. Core received the prestigious three Michelin star rating just three years after its opening.

Clare’s dedication to precision and excellence is reflected in the Cutler & Smyth range, which was born after months of research, honing designs, and testing proto-types.

Clare is passionate about empowering people to cook and believes that the right knives can ignite a spark in every home chef.

Haute craftsmanship

Every Cutler & Smyth knife comes to life at our workshop in the West Country.

Blades start as strips of SF100 stainless steel, which are laser-cut into individual blanks.

These are batch-hardened to 1080°C for optimal strength, then cooled and tempered. Using CNC technology, we then precisiongrind the blades to exact specifications before finishing each one by hand.

Our handles are crafted using bespoke tooling on a CNC router to create components from Richlite’s Black Diamond. Each element is then assembled with brass custom-made rivets and a mosaic centre pin, shaped, and polished by our cutlers.

Finally, every knife undergoes the ultimate test — hand sharpening to razor-like precision.

This painstaking process combining tradition with technology results in knives that are not just tools, but beautiful design pieces in their own right.
