The Great White Shark is a Western-style version of the Japanese Deba knife. The big difference is it has a double bevel as opposed to the Deba's single to better suit the Western user.
Its purpose is predominantly an all-purpose prep knife for both meat and veg before the grill. With a thick belly to the blade, it can deliver strength behind every cut, with a shallow roll on the cutting edge to suit chopping, slicing, and roll-cutting.

Our knives are designed here in South Australia by Shannon, a 2nd generation blacksmith. We source high quality Japanese VG10 steel for a robust blade with rigid construction, corrosion resistance, and most importantly, a razor sharp edge that holds for ages.
We pair this steel with Australian wood handles foraged from around our area; mainly Adelaide Hills and McLaren Vale.
The knife is finished with a 50/50 double bevel edge, sharpened to 15° angle. This creates a keen edge, without sacrificing toughness or performance.
