The Cooper Creek | Paring Knife

Soon to be available on Kickstarter... - Next 3 Iconic Rivers - "Kickstarter"! Cooper Creek doesn't look like much on a map. A thin blue line wandering through the Channel Country — easy to miss next to the great rivers. But when the rains come north, the Cooper carries water across half a continent, turning red desert into a green inland sea. When it reaches Kati Thanda, the desert blooms. The Cooper Creek Paring Knife earns its name for the same reason. Small in the hand. Precise. Easy to underestimate. But it does the quiet, careful work that makes everything else possible — peeling, trimming, deveining, scoring, the close work where a bigger blade has no business being. It's the first paring knife in the Iconic River Collection, and a fitting one: the smallest river name on the list, doing the most delicate work in the kitchen. The blade and the handle Japanese VG10 steel, three-layer Damascus, heat-treated to 61 HRC. The flow pattern of Cooper Creek runs across the blade — the signature mark of the Iconic River Collection. A 50/50 bevel ground to a 17° cutting edge: symmetrical, equally at home in either hand, and tuned for the close, twisting work a paring knife is built for. The G10 handle takes its colour from the Channel Country itself: red sand, white coolibah bark, the green of the flood. Japanese craft. Australian story. Made to be sharpened, not replaced.
