What is a knife or when is a knife not a knife ?
Cutlers Contravention uses irony and humour to contradict the accepted functionality of cooking knives. Combining the established methods of forged, pattern welded steel with the principals of “unmaking”, this project seeks to disturb and disrupt the conventional aesthetic correctness of hand made kitchen knives.
