Craftsmanship from the watchmaking city of Biel – a Decade of Excellence
Biel, 2024 - sknife proudly celebrates its 10th anniversary as a pioneer of Swiss knife craftsmanship! For the past decade, the Biel-based knife manufacturer has epitomized precision and perfection. Adorned with 4 international design awards, the sknife knives are set on the table in the world's most prestigious hotels and restaurants with over 250 Michelin stars. 
The Hôtel du Cap-Eden-Roc in Antibes, considered as of one of the best hotels in the world, has even commissioned an exclusive cutlery collection with night blue handles from sknife.

Anniversary Limited & Special Editions
In commemoration of this milestone, sknife unveils exclusive Limited and Special Editions. The Limited Edition Damascus pocket knife captivates with meticulously selected handles crafted from driftwood and a blade forged from 800-layer torsion Damascus stainless steel – each piece is a testament to the uniqueness of the material. The perfect harmony between torsion damask steel and the unique grain of the drift wood.
The special edition of the steak knife set, featuring drift wood handles, is also an aesthetic masterpiece, shaped and refined by years of contact with water. 

Synonym for quality and innovation
The design of the steak knife was collaboratively crafted with renowned Swiss chefs, boasting a non-contact cutting edge, flawless weight distribution and an elegant silhouette. The inaugural prototype was, based on sketches, fashioned from raw steel by the esteemed friend and cutler, Hansjörg Kilchenmann in Basel.

Swiss knife craftsmanship and stabilized wood for global success
In addition to the sophisticated design and precision craftsmanship, the international breakthrough is also based on two new technological processes: as pioneer, sknife built up the industrial forging of knives from surgical and Damascus steel in Switzerland as well as the stabilisation of Swiss wood, which is unique in Switzerland, to make it suitable for gastronomy. The knives and cutlery are also well established in hotels by the sea and on yachts, matching the colour of the interior. 
From the smelting of hot steel in Emmental to the final blade honing, the knives are meticulously handcrafted in Switzerland. The precise finishing touches and honing are conducted in the sknife knife manufactory in Biel, under the expert guidance of cutler Timo Müller and his team.

Precision from the watchmaking city Biel
Michael Bach: «We are always asked why we produce knives in Biel. Quite simply because we manufacture knives with the precision of a watch and with a high level of craftsmanship». The pocket knife with slide bearings made of high-tech ceramic and components from the watch industry combines this precision with functionality. The pinnacle of the collection is the exclusive full damask version, featuring a blade back adorned with 51 diamonds.

Comprehensive service for an excellent cutting experience
