The blade. boasts a barrel inspired WA handle made from the oak barrels of Corowa's award-winning whiskies. The kitchen heirlooms are accompanied by a wooden saya made from the same oak wooden barrel staves carved to mould around the knife without escaping its original form. The design blends seemleslly with the oak barrel stave and is both born from it and a part of it.

"Our barrels are the heroes of our whisky-making process, imparting distinctive flavours," said BeauSchilg, head distiller at Corowa. "We're thrilled to team up with Cut Throat Knives to repurpose our used staves and let their artistry shine through in this beautiful kitchen knife".
​
This partnership between Corowa and Cut Throat Knives is more than a collaboration; it is a melding of two crafts that require patience, precision, and passion. The result is a chef knife that is as functional as it is beautiful, embodying the spirit of both brands.
