Designed as a contemporary interpretation of the Japanese Sujihiki, \u003ci\u003eFoighne\u003c\/i\u003e balances elegance and performance in a form that commands attention both visually and in hand.

This grind creates an ideal cutting surface that combines reduced friction, excellent food release, and long-term sharpenability. It requires great skill and control to execute, and its presence here speaks to Erik’s mastery of the craft.

The handle reflects the same level of detail: a geometric heirloom-fit bolster in black G10 transitions into stabilised crosscut bog oak, with alternating polished and grain-textured facets offering both visual rhythm and ergonomic grip.
