Pricing for a custom blade does vary, generally between £180-£400. This does depend on size & materials. I understand that sometimes keeping to a budget is necessary so I try to keep this cost as low as possible. But the end result is a knife that will last a lifetime.




A 1kg burger press, with fabricated handle of steel and wood. Designed for smashing patties and weighing down steaks! These are fantastic tools that can be used indoors or out.
The solid steel construction ensures heavy, even weight. At 1kg, these are perfect to push down mince or help cook a steak without heating up.
The bottom plate is 6mm steel 150mm wide, with a hand riveted handle. These are made from mild steel, so should be kept oiled and not put though a dishwasher. The wood is natural walnut, oiled and waxed.
