The Outsider Slicer.

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 Outsider Chef Knife - The one knife made for adventure.

We cook outside all the time, and being in Australia, why wouldn’t you? 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.
