Sometimes, it’s not about firepower, it’s about a dependable tool that works – every single time. The team at Grovemade have made this their mission, and proudly present their new and improved Task Knife. Great for things like opening boxes and light-duty office tasks, this knife is intentionally less sharp than a pocket knife. The solid steel body with a ceramic coating is basically indestructible, making for lifetime quality that’s fit to be displayed.

Meant to perfectly match the rest of the Grovemade products, this sleek yet unobtrusive knife is the perfect accessory for all your office cutting needs. The brand boasts a whole line of premium desk tools and accessories, including a pen, vertical organizer, and leather notebook. Each of these unique products is built to last a lifetime, made with high quality materials and parts that are all managed vertically by Grovemade.

“It all came down to focusing heavily on machining, and what we can do with machines to create this sharp blade, and how we can use different tool paths from those machines to create these beautiful sweeps and angles and intersecting corners. A lot of inspiration came from when we had designed a pocket knife previously, and so a lot of the shape from that informed the shape of this desk knife,” says Sean Kelly, lead product designer at Grovemade.

The knife starts out as a billet of 3/8″ metal, which is machined to remove material on one side of the blade. Then, the knife is flipped, and the same is done to the other side. Because this knife celebrates machining marks naturally made during this process, Grovemade employs an extremely stringent quality checklist – nothing gets covered up. The black knives get sent out for an incredibly durable ceramic coating, usually found in high end firearms. The choil, a small divot on the edge of the blade, makes it easier to sharpen. Luckily, the blade geometry is specifically designed for minimal sharpening, if at all.

Among the quality tools in the Grovemade collection, a precision-machined protractor, ruler, and triangle help you get straight to business in style.
