‘Barry Gardner, Bladesmith and Owner, The Tiny Knife Shop’ said:
“I am very excited to embark on this new chapter at the 174 Year Old, Seppeltsfield Estate.
The Tiny Knife Shop is a fantastic addition to the world-class tourism offering here.
The Tiny Knife Shop has been a dream for me, offering visitors with the complete artisan retail experience, where they can purchase from the current selection or place a custom order.
A truly great new opportunity to continue to showcase my knives to enthusiasts, commercial and hospitality clients and lovers of craftsmanship.
I believe that a knife, whatever it is used for, should become an extension of your hand… and a real joy to use”.
