This knife is officially Nigels' favourite! 
 
It can be used as both a push cut on straights and curves with little need for a rule or form, and as a pull cut in reverse grip, Japanese style. The shape of the grip really comes into it’s own in either style.
 
The angle of the grind has been chosen to get the most out of the cut, but not so shallow, it binds. This helps with the push cuts, but is also large enough to rock cut as well. In both grip styles, the blade is shaped to ensure there is no contact with the user making it very safe in either option.
 
Our “seconds” stock may include knives that didn’t pass final QC standards - perhaps the finish is imperfect, or the handle wood has minor blemishes - but these are still fully functional tools.
 
The cutting edge remains excellent, the steel quality remains the same, and each knife retains the design and craftsmanship you expect from Better Together.
 
Factoring in small cosmetic imperfections, we pass on a saving to you - making it an ideal chance for leatherworkers to access high-quality blades at a more affordable price.
