Ashbury, considered for the table
Ashbury combines classical cutlery proportions with a contemporary twist. The knife is designed to rest vertically with its cutting edge raised, creating an unexpected gesture within an otherwise restrained place setting.
Designed by Kit deBretton Gordon, the collection draws on historical pistol-grip knives while focusing on the practical relationship between form, balance and the hand.
Ashbury is made from high-quality stainless steel and forms part of Robert Welch's Master Collection.
