This series is a joint effort between Allday Goods in Dalston, London, UK and Goto in Seki, Japan.
The blade is SK4 carbon steel hardened to 65 HRC with a hand finished fine convex grind, capable of taking an excellent edge without being excessively brittle. Every blade has a whetstone finished edge and is sharp to use out of the box.
The handle has been made from plastic waste from the UK which would otherwise be in landfill. It is collected, washed, shredded and melted by hand into their octagonal shape. Every handle is a one-off and no two will ever be the same.
Allday Goods is operated by a small team led by Hugo Worsley. Born from a desire to do something productive with the vast amount of plastic waste generated in restaurant kitchen, Allday Goods utilizes recycled plastics like Maldon Salt Buckets, used milk bottle handles, discarded plant containers and old fishing nets that have washed up on UK shores.
