Recycled Plastic
Handle
The handls are colorful plastics from washed-up trawler boxes and spent shotgun shells—giving new life to materials others overlook.
Steel
Knives
The steel is from dumped NOx canisters. We make knives, but not at the expense of the environment.

As a former professional chef, Tim knows just what chefs need in a knife and he’s on a mission to craft sustainable tools that resonate with the zero-waste movement.
His journey began on a narrowboat in London, where he would canoe through the Thames, collecting litter and dreaming up creative ways to repurpose it.
Each blade is a unique blend of craftsmanship and environmental stewardship, with 95% of the materials recycled by Tim himself.
He's inspired by zero waste chefs like Douglas McCalister of Silo London. Tim wants to make knives that real chefs can afford without compromising the environment!

FAQs
I usually post up to 10 knives on this website once every two weeks. I update my Instagram with the exact day and UK time and the online shop will advertise "Next Knives" too. To be fair to everyone interested in my knives, it's a first come, first served process no matter who you are.
The cost of knives is calculated by length. Normally, I charge £1.20 per millimetre of blade and £50 for the handle for my san mai blades. If I'm working with a unique steel, shape or handle material then the price will differ.
No. I occasionally donate knives as prizes for charity fundraising and good cause campaigns; the best way to find out who I'm supporting is through Instagram.
I don't take reservations, even if a knife will be a gift for someone. I'm lucky to have a lot of interest in my products so everything I make is available to all.
I don't take custom orders because I've found my knives turn out better when I'm making for myself and the blade/handle can develop organically. The only stamp I add is my maker's mark 💀.
I don't at the moment because the knives might sell out before someone with a voucher had the chance to buy one.
Yes, I post knives all over the world with full insurance. Once your knife is posted you'll receive a tracking number.In the UK I have to post knives using age verification, so please expect to show ID when receiving your knife.Some countries will apply additional customs charges so please be aware of your additional costs if buying from outside the UK.
Not at the moment. It's just me making knives and I don't have the time to run a good workshop yet.
Thank you for the offer, but it's likely to cost you a lot in postage and it might not be safe in case some canisters are still full. I'm thinking about ways I can collect from people and in the meantime, if you're passing through Wigtownshire in Scotland let me know...
