The craft

Made by Fredrik Spåre

Every knife is forged, ground and finished by hand in a small workshop outside Örebro. Fredrik cooked professionally before he started making knives, and that is still what decides how a blade is shaped.

  • Handcrafted in Sweden
  • High-performance kitchen knives
  • Made in small numbers
