HOOTER DESIGN GALLERY

This special‑purpose steak knife is crafted by Hooter Design as a statement piece for the dedicated carnivore. Its form invites comment — a deliberate balance of sharp edge and pointed tip that delivers high functionality with unmistakable one‑of‑a‑kind styling. Equally at home beside the barbecue or as an elegant hand piece at the dining table, it carries the familiar Hooter Design blend of refinement and utility.

Hand‑forged from 3.5 mm 1084 high‑carbon steel, the 12cm blade is polished to a 600‑grit working finish. The arrow‑point spine narrows to a fine tip for precision slicing, while characteristic forge marks are retained above the bevel as an honest record of the blade’s making. A small churl at the heel assists with sharpening and long‑term maintenance.

The blade’s thickness and point geometry give it exceptional stability when cutting through tougher, bone‑adjacent sections of meat. This makes it not only a dining tool but a reliable companion for preparing larger cuts at the barbecue, reducing tear and preserving the integrity of the meat’s surface — a subtle advantage appreciated by serious cooks and grillers

Its handle is shaped from Australian River Red Gum, secured with copper pins and finished to reveal the timber’s deep, natural warmth. The handle is epoxy- finished for protection and longevity.  A lanyard hole can be included, and an optional drawer sheath is available for safe storage.

​

This makes it not only a standout dining tool but also a reliable companion for barbecue preparation — a functional showpiece that becomes part of your personal ritual around fire, food, and craft.

​

As the piece ages, with proper care, the blade develops a patina that reflects your use, your environment, your life — becoming a functional heirloom, built with intention and impossible to replicate.
