About sknife
collaboration with top chefs
history of its creation
We have been the most important distributor for high-quality knives since 2003. The sknife knives were developed in collaboration with top chefs in search of a Swiss product of the highest quality and perfection.
In 2015, sknife delivered the first steak knife. The knives are now used in the world's best restaurants and hotels with over 250 Michelin stars and by over 15 3-star top chefs and have been awarded 4 international design prizes.
The pocket knife with plain bearings made of high-tech ceramic has also found its way to knife collectors and the high-quality version in Damascus is particularly popular.
To round off the range, a high-quality sommelier knife that can be operated with one hand is currently being developed.
knife manufactory & tour
Michael Bach: We are often asked why we make knives in Biel. Quite simply because we make knives with the precision of a watch and with a high level of craftsmanship. We want to become a place for knife art here and are happy that more and more knife collectors are finding their way to Biel. Guided tours take place every month. By registering, knife lovers can watch the knife maker at work making the sknife knives.
Material & Sustainability
surgical steel, damask, Swiss wood
sknife uses the latest surgical steel, in which carbon is replaced by nitrogen, which increases corrosion resistance by a factor of 4. This makes sknife knives ideal for use at sea. The high hardness of 58 HRC (range of Japanese knives) also means the knife stays sharp for a long time.
Torsion Damascus: corrosion-resistant, forged from two high-quality knife steels.
Swiss wood: walnut wood and ash wood with beautiful
Wood structure comes from a wood turning workshop in Emmental (Swiss wood, FSC-certified).
