Tools of the trade

$50.00

These knives are not just an object to me. It’s muscle memory.

I’m a butcher by trade, and these are the tools I use every single day. Tools that carry years of early mornings, sore hands, quiet focus, and pride in doing something right. It’s a skill that often goes unnoticed, sometimes unappreciated.

Behind the scenes, small businesses are constantly fighting the cost of living, rising overheads, and the pressure from big chain supermarkets. Still showing up, still sharpening knives, still caring about quality.

This piece is my way of slowing that moment down and giving respect to the craft. The hands-on work. The trades that don’t shout, but matter.

Carved by hand. Printed by hand. Just like the work itself.

• A4 size (21 x 29.7 cm)
• Original hand-carved lino block
• Hand-printed
• Limited run of 25
• Unframed
