Santoku - Allday Goods x Lucy Mahon

£250.00

This is our Allday Goods x Lucy Mahon personalised Santoku.

Our second collaboration with Lucy - this time, completely personalised to you. Based, like us, in Hackney, Lucy makes work that circles around comfort, ritual and the texture of everyday life.

There are meals you don't forget. Not because they were extraordinary, but because of everything around them. The kitchen you were standing in. The people you were with. Food anchors memory in a way that very little else can.

You tell us your favourite foods - comfort eats, family recipes, the ingredients you reach for every day. Lucy will hand-paint them onto the handle of a santoku knife. Initials and a date can be added if this knife is marking something special. Or nothing at all - just the food you love, on a knife to keep for life.

Once we receive your order, we'll email you to begin the personalisation process. We'll use the email address provided at checkout, so please keep an eye on your inbox over the following days.

These knives are now open for pre-order (second batch). Delivery for these is expected in September. As bespoke items, they are non-refundable.

1% FOR THE PLANET: We donate 1% of each sale to fund plastic waste collection efforts. This product saves the equivalent of 175 plastic bottles from our oceans.

This handle is made from reclaimed American Ash by Justin Webb of Re.Honed, working out of his workshop in Woolwich.

Justin shapes each handle entirely by hand - rough-formed first, then worked down through a process called dowelling, using chisels, spokeshave and drawknife, until the form emerges. It takes around two hours per handle.

Each one is then painted by Lucy, in her studio in Hackney Wick, and treated with a clear protective coating.

This is the Japanese version of a Western chef's knife. This is your all-rounder kitchen knife. Santoku translates as “three benefits” and relates to the knife's ability to slice, dice and mince.

This is a solid, super sharp, stainless steel with great edge retention.

The blade has been handmade in Solingen, Germany by a family that have been making knives since 1790.
