The Outsider Chef Knife.

Never trust a knife maker who doesn’t cook.

Before knife making, I was in the hospitality business for close to 20 years - I’ve cooked a lot of food for a lot of people - and used a lot of knives too! For me it’s all about how a knife feels in your hand and how it works with you. I make each knife one at a time knowing that I’m making it to be used by someone just like me who loves to cook great food. - Jason Thomson

The Classic Chef’s Slicer. - For a limited time we’ll add 2 steak knives when you purchase the slicer.

There’s one knife I can’t do without - It’s made for meat - and I love meat. I make the Stainless Slicer for people like me, who love a weekend BBQ, a Sunday roast or if you think you’ve mastered the art of grilling a steak, you’ll probably love it too.

Integrity, creativity, and empathy shape the way we work. These aren't just words—they’re the foundation of everything we build. We believe in doing great work, building real relationships, and making it easy for you to get the results you’re looking for.

I ordered the Chef's Slicer knife for my husbands 40th birthday and he is absolutely thrilled with the gift. Jason was absolutely fantastic with communication and helping me personalise the knife! Great experience from beginning to end.

The Outsider Chef Knife - The one knife made for adventure.

We cook outside all the time, and why wouldn’t you? We live in the best country for it. I wanted to create a knife that was made just for that. A knife that could handle almost anywhere you wanted to take it, but still retain the performance of a professional kitchen knife - it’s the best of both worlds.
