Brown Oak Cake Knife
Handcrafted in small batches, this beautiful Brown Oak Cake Knife cuts neatly through cakes and bakes without tearing. Its wide blade also makes it perfect for serving, making it a lovely addition to the table.
Each knife is individually made from rare Brown Oak, also known as Tiger Oak, sourced from a local sawmill. Brown Oak is known for its rich, often striped grain and naturally occurring dark colouring, which is revealed when the tree is cut. Every knife is therefore unique, with its own distinctive character.
A thoughtful wedding gift or a special treat for yourself, the cake knife is finished with several coats of food-safe mineral oil and a plant-based vegan wax blend.

About the maker
Selwyn House was founded by Sean Best and Ellie Smalls, who met while studying Fine Art at Leeds Arts University. Always drawn to making things, Sean bought a second-hand lathe and began teaching himself woodturning. His fascination with understanding and working with wood soon became an all-consuming obsession.
After moving back to Ellie’s home county of Derbyshire in 2017, they formed Selwyn House, combining their creative talents to create small-batch handmade tableware and homeware from some of the best British-grown timbers they could source.
