An Exciting Collaboration with HandFab
Introducing the Sweet Tooth Signature Series
There are moments in this industry that genuinely give you a buzz.
This is one of them.
Over the past months I’ve been quietly collaborating with HandFab — a knife maker who doesn’t just make knives, but understands how chefs actually work. The pace of service. The feel of prep. The hours. The abuse. The love.
That collaboration has now turned into something real.
The Sweet Tooth Signature Series.
Why this knife exists
Every chef has that job.
The fiddly one. The repetitive one. The one that deserves the right tool.
For me, that’s shallots, chives, herbs, garlic, garnish prep. Precision work. Long sessions. No drama.
I wanted a knife that:
Feels light and agile in the hand Has enough height for comfort and control Glides through delicate prep without forcing it Still feels solid. Still feels serious
No gimmicks. No ego. Just purpose.
The design
The Sweet Tooth is instantly recognisable.
That raised spine isn’t there to look clever — it’s about balance and finger comfort during long prep sessions. The blade profile encourages a clean, confident cut without fighting the board. It’s nimble, but it’s not fragile.
The handle? Beautiful walnut. Warm. Natural. Properly finished. It feels like a tool, not a showroom ornament.
Every detail was discussed. Tweaked. Used. Abused. Refined.
This is a knife designed on the board, not on paper.
Built for chefs, not collectors
Let’s be honest — plenty of knives look great on Instagram.
Fewer earn their place on the pass.
This one does the work.
It’s the knife I reach for when speed and accuracy matter. When prep needs to be calm, controlled, almost meditative. When the smallest cuts make the biggest difference.
And yes — it’s called Sweet Tooth for a reason. Once you use it, you’ll keep reaching for it.
What’s next
This is just the beginning.
The Sweet Tooth Signature Series represents what happens when chefs and makers actually collaborate — properly. Shared standards. Shared obsession. Shared respect for the craft.
I’m proud of this one.
And I’m excited to see it land in other kitchens.
More soon.
Sharp things ahead. 🔪
