Really well made, great to see a quality Australian product, made in Australia, from Australian materials. Easy to use, looks great in the BBQ area at home.

Another incredible trip done & dusted with the boys.
Many may not know, but we’ve been fortunate enough to develop a small, but highly coveted group of guys who love our food and wine. (Obsessed)
We travel to wine destinations everywhere, conducting research, and leaning on our incredible contacts to give us insights into the best “must do” in every region we frequent.
Mornington was exceptional.

🔥🔪 SLENDER & SHARP 🔪🔥
Six inches of hand forged 420c Stainless Steel, built to work.
The Fillet Boning Utility Knife earns its keep where precision matters.
Trimming close to the bone. Following the seam. Filleting clean without tearing through the flesh.
That slender blade with enough rigidity to use hard, and the hand-finished hardwood handle sits balanced in the palm… light enough for the fine work, strong enough for the field.
Comes with its own leather sheath. Handmade, like everything we put our name to.
DM us or link in bio if you want one on block. 🔥
🍋🧂 PRESERVING SEASON 🧂🍋
🍋Lemon season means one thing in our kitchen: it’s time to preserve. 🔥
There’s nothing better than opening a jar of your own preserved lemons months down the track.
Salty, tangy, softened right through the rind. A staple we go back to all year in tagines, dressings, marinades and anything that needs a hit of brightness.
Our method is simple:
🍋 Fresh lemons, quartered but still attached at the base
🧂 A cure mix of 1 part sugar to 2 parts salt
🫙 Packed tight into sterilised jars, layer by layer
⏳ Left for a few weeks before we crack the first jar
The sugar rounds out the salt and helps draw out the juices faster, so the whole jar cures in its own liquid.
Preserving isn’t just about food lasting longer. It’s about capturing a season at its best and having it ready to use long after the lemons are gone. 🍋🔥
What do you use your preserved lemons in? 👇

🇮🇹🍷ITALIANO VINO🍇🇮🇹
When @goingtogracelands partners with @bamvinocellars and @lscuri you know its going to be a good night.
A journey through Italy, kicking off with a prosecco, and working our way through some Pinot Gris, Grillo, Chianti, Tuscano and a Valpolicella Classico.
Served with an impeccably matched menu, by Chef Peter.
🔥🔪Cold Nights, Sharp Steel🔪🔥
Mid-winter in Australia. The sky`s gone dark and blue at the edges, the parrilla firebox is glowing, and the coals are settling into that slow, steady heat.
Before the first cut, there`s a ritual.
A few slow passes of the blade down the steel, blade catching the amber firelight.
Twelve inches of honing steel, hardwood handle worn smooth in the hand.
It trues the edge, keeps the blade honest between sharpenings.
The "chaira" (Honing Steel) is the opening act. Part of the atmosphere itself.
Fire lit. Coals ready. Blade ready.
Then we cook, low and slow, or hot and fast, against the cold.
DM us if you want one by your own fire this winter. Link in bio. 🙏🏼🔥
🔥🔪 ROCK & ROLL🔪🔪
Not every cut needs a chef knife. This one`s forged for the board.
Rock it back and forth through a pile of rosemary and thyme and the work`s done. Same motion glides through pizza, flatbreads, anything you want to chop. Mince meat? Easy…
Hand-forged in Brazil. Stainless curve, dual hardwood handles, joins you can feel where the maker`s hands finished the steel. A tool, not a gadget.

Sitting at the table, looking out across the garden beds, where much of the produce served comes from, you can’t help but get an overwhelming sense of how special this dining experience is.
