Hi! We’re BARE Cookware.

This is our 5th campaign! To pre-order our knives click “Pick your perk”. Or read on to learn more!

Meet TwinSteel™. Ultra-hard Swedish 14C28N steel fused to the cutting edge of a forged blade. Keeping your knives razor-sharp for longer.

And we sell directly to you. No middlemen, no retailer markups.

Ordinary knives made from soft steel lose their edge quickly. We all know the struggle of trying to prep hard veggies with a blunt knife… it’s not fun!

To get lasting sharpness you need a steel that is hard and tough – and expensive!

Our knives stay sharp because we use premium hard steel. Usually this means a huge price tag. Our knives offer amazing value because we only use the expensive steel where needed: at the cutting edge.

Traditionally knives are sharpened to 20 degrees. We sharpen to a precise 15-degree angle making our knives razor-sharp right out of the box. They cut effortlessly. Even through softer, delicate foods like grapes or fish.

Our knives have a flat grind and a full distal taper. This means they are ground thinner towards the tip and cutting edge. This way our knives easily push through hard vegetables like potatoes, just like a splitting axe!

Ever tried cutting a watermelon with a paring knife? We’re here to tell you there are better ways. Our 5 Piece Set is designed to give you all the tools you need to shine in the kitchen. From our Paring Knife to our Serrated Knife, you’ll be set for success!

Every 5 piece set includes a free ceramic sharpener! 

Eventually even high-end steel goes dull. We still can’t beat physics sadly enough. To sharpen extremely hard steel, you need an even harder material: ceramic. Our 2000 grit sharpener has a built-in angle guide. It’s so easy, everyone can do it.

With an oval cross section it sharpens any knife, even serrated knives!

Our knives are full of little, but important features. It’s these details that let you feel you’re holding something special.

Our revolutionary manufacturing method allows us to weld a strip of premium Swedish 14C28N to a drop-forged 1.4116 knife body. After hardening, this results in a cutting edge that has a certified Rockwell-C hardness of 60! This super hard edge ensures your knives stay sharp much longer!

Our production process in a nutshell:

• We drop-forged a full-tang 1.4116 body
• Then we weld a strip of 14C28N to it
• The blade is ground to a full distal taper
• Then we harden and cryo-treat to 60HRC
• The POM handle is attached 
• The knife is polished and the spine is rounded
• Finally the knife is hand-sharpened to a razor sharp 15 degrees.

Introduced in 2008, 14C28N has taken the high-end knife market by storm. It’s praised as being the best bang-for-the-buck high quality steel available to knifemakers.

14C28N is made in Sandviken, Sweden. It outperforms all steels commonly used by big brands and has (so far) been reserved for hand made knives costing at least €150,- each.

We recognize the trust you place in us by backing our campaign. We are dedicated to a great customer experience and personal service. We hope our 4.7 Trustpilot rating reflects that.

Unlike slotted blocks, our magnetic storage solutions are easy-to-clean, compatible with any knife and resist unwanted moisture. 

Our Magnet Block is a 4 kg solid-wood masterpiece. Magnetic on all sides it solves all the issues of traditional slotted blocks and easily holds up to 12 knives.

Our magnetic knife storage solutions are available as an add-on here on Indiegogo and will also be available through BackerKit after the campaign ends.

Shipping is calculated during checkout on Indiegogo, we don’t charge any additional  fees or shipping costs.

We’ll ship the first batch of knives in February. That should give us ample time to ensure each and every knife is up to snuff! We won’t ship out a single knife unless it exceeds our quality standards. We ship with tracking and guaranteed delivery.

Rewards will be shipped from the Netherlands, the UK and the US. This means backers from the EU, the UK, and the US will not encounter any import duties or VAT. Outside of these regions you may be faced with custom fees, import duties, and VAT depending on local regulations.

Starting up production for a new product is expensive. By launching on Indiegogo we are able to reach the volume we need without costly loans or middlemen. 

We produce your knives in large batches further lowering the cost of production. This allows us to offer our knives on Indiegogo at nearly a 40% discount off the retail price.

We founded BARE Cookware in 2018. From making videos to mechanical engineering, from packing your order to answering your emails, we do almost everything ‘in-house.’ That’s business speak for being a bit stubborn.

We’re a small team, and we like it that way. It means we get to work on products we’re proud of, goof around a bit, and turn the office speakers up as loud as we want.

We realize how lucky this makes us and are profoundly grateful to our supporters for making this all possible.

THANK YOU!!!
