THE VISION
WHERE LESS BECOMES MORE.
THE VISION
WHERE LESS BECOMES MORE.
Walk any kitchen aisle and every knife is shouting: mirror polish, fake hammer marks, logos everywhere. All that shine, and underneath it is still the same stamped steel with no life in it.
The Blackout goes the other way. One blade that covers what your chef knife, your cleaver, and your santoku do separately, a finger hole forged straight into the steel for total control, and a bottle opener hidden in the spine for when the work is done. No flash. Just reach.
Darkened steel. Solid ebony. One unbroken silhouette from edge to end, with nothing polished, nothing printed, and nothing to show off until you use it. Each batch leaves the forge in limited numbers, so the one on your board stays rare, and every blade is backed with a lifetime warranty.
THE PROFILE
DARK BY DESIGN.
MATERIALS
STRENGTH IN EVERY DETAIL.
CONTROL
BALANCE YOU CAN FEEL.
THE EDGE
SHARPNESS WITHOUT COMPROMISE.
THE EXPERIENCE
QUIET CONFIDENCE.
THE PROFILE
DARK BY DESIGN.
EVERY LINE SERVES A PURPOSE.
A silhouette where every line has a job: enough belly to chop, enough tip for fine work, and nothing decorating the way.
A SHAPE YOU ALREADY TRUST.
One blade that slices, chops, and handles fine work without asking you to switch knives mid-meal.
A MODERN ICON.
Clean geometry, zero trend-chasing. It will look this good in ten years, and it will still be earning its spot.
MATERIALS
STRENGTH IN EVERY DETAIL.
PREMIUM EBONY HANDLE.
Ebony is dark all the way through and dense enough to feel it. Ten years from now it will look better, not worse.
FULL-TANG CONSTRUCTION.
The steel core runs deep into the handle, so the knife moves as one piece, never two.
MADE TO ENDURE.
Steel, ebony, and nothing that wears out first. Built for years of daily cutting boards.
CONTROL
BALANCE YOU CAN FEEL.
CONFIDENCE FROM THE FIRST CUT.
The weight sits right behind the edge. The blade goes where you point it and stops where you stop.
COMFORT WITHOUT DISTRACTION.
Your index finger drops into the hole, the ebony fills your palm, and an hour of prep stops feeling like one.
NATURAL CHARACTER.
Every ebony handle carries its own grain. No two Blackouts leave the forge identical.
THE EDGE
SHARPNESS WITHOUT COMPROMISE.
CLEAN. PRECISE. CONSISTENT.
Tomatoes, brisket, herbs. The edge glides through all of it, and it keeps doing so for months of cooking.
REFINED EDGE GEOMETRY.
Ground thin where it cuts, thick where it takes the pressure. Sharp without being fragile.
READY FROM DAY ONE.
Sharpened by hand before it ships. The first cut is the proof.
THE EXPERIENCE
QUIET CONFIDENCE.
VERSATILITY IN MOTION.
Vegetables, herbs, thick cuts of meat. One knife follows you through the whole menu without complaint.
LIMITED IN NUMBER. EXCEPTIONAL IN CHARACTER.
Each batch is made in limited numbers. When it is gone, it is gone, and the people who have one know it.
THE EXECUTION
EVERYTHING IT NEEDS. NOTHING ELSE.
Built-In Bottle Opener
Pop a cap off the spine while dinner cooks. Sounds like a gimmick until you catch yourself doing it every week.
Blackout Blade Profile
One unbroken line from tip to tang. It slices, chops, and carves without ever looking busy doing it.
Genuine Ebony Handle
Ebony is black all the way through, not stained to look it. Grip it once and you feel the density.
Full-Tang Construction
The steel runs the full length of the handle. That is why it stays planted in your hand, even mid-chop.

THE ONE THEY ASK ABOUT.

Balanced to disappear in your hand
Solid ebony, dark by nature, not by dye
The piece people notice first

BEST RATED KNIVES IN THE UK
Don't take our word for it
Wow!
Cooked up ten thick ribeyes the night it arrived and it went through them with ease. Razor sharp, perfectly weighted, hands down the best blade I have ever used. That good.
Scott MVerified Buyer
Excellent knife!
Arrived razor sharp and it has stayed that way. Lovely weight to it, great balance for bigger cuts of meat and the handle sits really well in the hand. Very impressed.
Austin SiddonsVerified Buyer
Viking feel
The bottle opener in the spine is a brilliant touch, prep dinner and pop a cold one with the same knife. Super sharp, really well built and stunning in person.
Tyler SecorVerified Buyer
Best Knife I've bought !
Was dubious at first but when it turned up it was fantastic. Sharper than anything I own, well balanced, and the all black look is even nicer in person. Best knife I own.
Andrew RenshawVerified Buyer
Absolutely awesome!
Took it camping for a week and it handled everything I threw at it, food prep, kindling, the lot. Wiped clean like new. It is my go-to at home now too. Highly recommend.
Jeffrey GershonVerified Buyer
Outstanding Knife
The quality of this knife is exceptional, razor sharp and cuts through meat with ease. It looks amazing on the magnetic rack, everyone who visits asks about it. Will buy more.

Thousands of Home Cooks. One Verdict.
"Perfectly weighted, razor sharp, and pitch black. It made every other knife in my kitchen feel like a toy."
Wow!
Cooked thick ribeyes the day it arrived and it went through them with ease. It lives next to my grill now and everyone at the BBQ passes comment. Still razor sharp.
Scott M
Viking feel
Did not expect the bottle opener to be my favorite part but here we are. Prep dinner, pop a cold one, same knife. Razor sharp and the black look is stunning in person.
Tyler Secor
Absolutely awesome!
Took it out to the woods for a week and it handled everything, food, kindling, the lot. Wiped it clean and it looked brand new. It is my do-everything knife now.
Jeffrey Gershon
Outstanding Knife
It never goes back in the drawer. Razor sharp out of the box, feels great in the hand and the all black look makes the whole kitchen feel upgraded. Worth every penny.
John Bigham
Great knife
Used it over the fire pit all weekend, steaks, potatoes, even split some kindling. Wiped clean, looked untouched. Well made, razor sharp and unreal by firelight.

QUESTIONS, ANSWERED
BEFORE YOU ASK.
The things people want to know before they order.
Darkened steel, solid ebony, one unbroken silhouette, and a blade that handles slicing, chopping, and heavy prep in one. Nothing else in your kitchen looks or cuts like it.
Slicing, chopping, and breaking down whatever the board holds. It is one knife doing the work of a block.
Yes. It looks like a statement piece and cuts like a workhorse. Most people stop thinking about the knife halfway through their first onion. That is the point.
Longer than the knives it replaces. It arrives razor sharp, holds its edge through months of normal cooking, and a few passes on a sharpener bring it back when the day finally comes.
Yes. The finger hole gives your index finger a home, the ebony fills your palm, and the weight sits right behind the edge. An hour of prep feels like ten minutes of it.
The stainless blade resists corrosion in normal kitchen use. Hand wash it with warm water, dry it after cleaning, and it will stay in excellent condition for years.
No. Dishwashers can damage the blade and handle. We recommend washing the knife by hand with warm water and drying it immediately after cleaning.
Not included. If you want one, the leather sheath in our store fits it and protects the edge in a drawer or a bag.
Orders leave our warehouse within 1 business day. Delivery typically takes 7 to 12 business days across the UK.
Cook with it for 30 days. If it is not the knife we promised, write to support and you get a full refund. The shipping warranty also covers any damage on the way to you.
Yes. Each Blackout batch is produced in limited numbers, and a sold-out batch is not always restocked. If it is on this page, it is available right now.
Ebony is one of the densest natural woods used in knife making. It is naturally dark rather than stained, ages beautifully, and gives every Blackout Edition a finish no two knives share exactly.
such a lovely well made rugged knife, came extremely sharp and ready to cut anything, love it

I love this knife
My particular one has a tiny knick on it, but I kind of like to think of that as its character. I particularly like to use this knife to chop long vegetables and meat, because the blade curves you can cut in a way that allows pressure much more than a straight blade. Also loving the Matt black. You can see how these knives were made and if you feel the edge of the blade you can feel the ridges. Oh, and it looks wicked 😁
