Studio Knife

Description

After years spent prototyping in workshops of every kind, I built a trusted toolkit—refined through use, not theory. But one tool always came up short: a blade that could do it all and was always where I needed it. Utility knives lacked finesse. X-Acto blades were too small. I wanted something with a longer edge, the strength to cut double-thick cardboard, and the precision to scribe a hairline line in wood or metal.

The breakthrough came with a little-known scalpel manufacturer from Sheffield, England—craft blades that are extra-thick, razor-sharp, and perfectly shaped. But the stock handle was a letdown: flimsy, imprecise, and unworthy of the blade it held.

So I designed one. After years of iteration, the Studio Knife was born—machined from premium materials, engineered for perfect hand feel, and built to last. Blade changes are fast and tool-free, thanks to a sliding inlay and magnetic alignment. It’s a knife you’ll reach for every day—and want to pass down someday.
