About

“Tree Swift Goods” grew out of my desire to create modern kitchen knives to the highest level of performance & longevity. They are all made in my compact, dedicated knife making workshop based on the Norfolk & Suffolk border. I have been making knives since 2020, in-between operating a Thai food stall catering to festivals throughout England.

I started out learning to sharpen knives, before discovering the possibility of making knives from a small workshop. I quickly became obsessed with the pursuit of learning to create beautiful, comfortable, high-quality tools.

Having run a mobile catering business for 6 years it was natural for me to focus on kitchen knives. I specialise in using powder metal stainless steels created specifically for knives. Using a state-of-the-art temperature-controlled kiln to heat treat these steels I can create knives that hold an exceptional edge, whilst also being incredibly corrosion resistant.

I’ve taken inspiration from Japanese knives, without being bound by tradition. I believe it’s important to honour the tradition while also implementing something new. I combine my design aesthetic with some of the best knife steels available today. I use a variety of materials to create unique objects that will likely outlast me and my customers.

There are a lot of artistic possibilities when creating a knife, but first and foremost it needs to fulfil its functional purpose. I’m not trying to reinvent the wheel, just apply my knowledge and design aesthetic to a simple object. I find paired down, simple forms with clear intent incredibly satisfying and I know I’m not alone in this.
