Olive Burl Utility Review

Stefano — Thu, 16 Sep 2010 06:00:00 +0000

It’s a real pleasure to show here one of the first review made by a customer on British Blades forum.

The text:
Back in July I had the fortune to buy a set of three small utilities from Mostho.
The blades vary in length from 5cm to 7,5 cm so these are not big knives by any stretch of the imagination.
When I got them and spent some time trying them out, I took an immediate liking to the middle brother.
Stefano made these out of O2 with brass fittings, red liners and beautiful 300 plus years old olive burl.

It does a great job in the kitchen. The high arch makes for great knuckle clearance and it loves to chop and slice.
The butt is perfectly flat and works a treat for cracking pepper and garlic cloves.
Another point of satisfaction is the ease with which the edge is kept sharp.
I am sure I will find equal qualities in its bigger and smaller brother, but for now this one has scored high marks.
Comes in a nicely made, tight fitting belt sheath. So at some point it will undoubtedly get a taste of the outdoors.

Two of these kitchen knives are already booked.
They are in 12C27 Sandvik steel, a premium stainless steel that I love so much.

After some rough grinding

They probably will be grinded with a laser cutting scandi bevel. awaiting ideas for the handles.
More to come soon…

Hello guys,
a kitchen knife made for a friend.
Made on it’s own hand.
Steel is 12C27 3mm thick, 17cm blade, 13cm handle.
Brass corbys.
Brown Bison chrome tanned leather, hand stitched, just to have a case.

I think is a very focused knife. As I try to do always.
Hope you will like it!

Cheers
