sknife Swiss Made Knives: 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. sknife is thrilled to announce that their knives have been adorned with 4 international design accolades and are set on the table in the world's most prestigious hotels and restaurants with over 200 Michelin stars in total.

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 special edition of the steak knife set, featuring alluvial wood handles, is also an aesthetic masterpiece, shaped and refined by years of contact with water.

Every Cut, a Masterpiece
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.

Craftsmanship from Biel
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.

Thanks to the innovative, corrosion-resistant surgical steel and stabilized wood, the knives and cutlery are also well established and appreciated in hotels by the sea and on yachts.
Innovation for unparalleled Sharpness
The sknife sharpener ensures razor-sharp edges in restaurants daily, thanks to its user-friendly design. Stage 1 pre-sharpens the blade, while stage 2 polishes it. Both sharpening stones are specially crafted in Japan.
 Precision from the watchmaking capital Biel
The pocket knife with slide bearings made of high-tech ceramic beckons knife enthusiasts worldwide to Biel. The pinnacle of the collection is the exclusive full Damascus version, featuring a blade back adorned with 51 diamonds.
