Custom Commissions

Your knife, your design.

Every custom knife we make is unique, crafted by hand to your specifications. Whether it’s a bread knife, pizza cutter, or a completely bespoke creation, each piece is designed for performance, comfort, and enduring quality.

CREATE A KNIFE MADE FOR YOU

At Goulder Knives, every custom commission is a unique opportunity to create a knife designed entirely for you. From the type of blade to the choice of handle material, each piece is crafted by hand in our New Zealand workshop, shaped with precision and care to suit your needs.

Whether you’re looking for a bread knife, a pizza cutter, or a completely bespoke design, we work closely with each client to ensure the finished knife reflects both function and personality. Custom orders allow us to focus on every detail, balance, weight, edge, and finish. Ultimately producing a tool that is practical, beautiful, and built to last a lifetime.

Each commission is made individually, one at a time, using premium materials and techniques honed over decades. The result is a knife that is as unique as the person it was made for, combining expert craftsmanship with personal vision.
