Gorse Knives brings together artistry, precision and everyday function. Founded by bladesmith Alexander O’Neill, the brand reflects his lifelong fascination with materials and form. From his small Kennington workshop, Alexander hand forges each kitchen knife from Japanese Aogami steel – renowned for its razor-sharp edge – and pairs it with sustainably sourced walnut or olive wood handles. Every blade is shaped, hammered and finished by hand, celebrating the beauty of craftsmanship over mass production. Alongside ready-made collections Alexander creates bespoke commissions that transform personal stories and materials into heirloom pieces – a tool and a work of art.
