The ultimate low-maintenance artisan knife duo in stainless steel. Hand-forged, cast and sharpened to perfection.
SOLIDTEKNICS, renowned for their multi-century durable cookware, has launched another compelling Kickstarter campaign: the SOLIDTEKNICS Söliditi 11cm Utility and 15cm Choppa Knives. This project introduces an ultimate low-maintenance, artisan knife duo crafted from stainless steel, meticulously hand-forged, cast, and sharpened to perfection, designed to become treasured heirlooms in your family for generations.
Project Overview
Name and Creator: SOLIDTEKNICS Söliditi 11cm Utility and 15cm Choppa Knives by SOLIDTEKNICS.
What It Is: These knives are the epitome of heirloom quality and performance. They are a solid, one-piece "monobloc" design, combining the precision of an 11cm Utility Knife with the robust power of a 15cm Choppa. Each knife is individually crafted through a blend of casting in the USA and extensive hand-forging, grinding, and sharpening in Australia, ensuring a unique piece of functional art for every owner.
Key Features
Timeless Durability: Crafted from high-quality 440C stainless steel, these knives offer exceptional rust and corrosion resistance. Their solid, one-piece monobloc construction eliminates common weak points found in riveted or jointed knives, guaranteeing multi-century durability backed by a multi-century warranty.
Artisan Craftsmanship: Eschewing mass production, each Söliditi knife passes through the hands of skilled artisans. They are carefully cast, then hot-forged to boost durability, hand-ground, and finally hand-sharpened. This process ensures no two knives are exactly alike, each bearing the unique marks of its handmade creation.
Hot-Forged Strength: The hot-forging process not only enhances the knife's overall strength but also contributes to superior edge retention and resistance to wear, ensuring years of reliable, sharp performance.
Versatile & Ergonomic Design: Sized for a wide range of kitchen tasks, the 11cm Utility knife excels at detailed prep, while the 15cm Choppa handles hearty chopping with ease. The ergonomic handle is designed for a secure, fatigue-free grip, even during extended use.
Double-Bevel Western Edge: Both knives feature a symmetrical double-bevel Western edge. This design makes them suitable for both left- and right-handed users, simplifies sharpening with standard tools, and delivers clean, precise cuts with minimal effort.
Low Maintenance: Despite their artisan quality, these knives are designed to be low-maintenance, offering hassle-free use and care for everyday home cooks and professional chefs alike.

The Idea
Concept: SOLIDTEKNICS' core concept for the Söliditi knives aligns with their broader mission: to create healthy, sustainable, and multi-generational kitchenware that stands in stark contrast to mass-produced, disposable products. They aim to provide tools that are not only high-performing but also built to literally last for centuries, meant to be passed down through families.
Inspiration: Driven by a passion for engineering excellence and a commitment to sustainability, SOLIDTEKNICS founder Mark J. Henry and his team are inspired by the timeless durability of traditional craftsmanship combined with modern innovation. They seek to redefine industry standards by designing and manufacturing kitchen tools that embody strength, beauty, and practical performance, all while promoting responsible production through local manufacturing in Australia and the USA. The Söliditi knives represent their dedication to creating authentic, enduring pieces that make history, not just products.
