Welcome to Whispers of Wood - Handmade Artisan Wooden Products in Staffordshire
About our products
Whispers of Wood was established in 2016 with a range of handmade chopping and serving boards for kitchen and entertaining use.
Some customers shared that they were concerned that their steel knives would damage their beautifully made board. So, designer and craftsman John created a range of wooden bladed knives to solve their dilemma!
Whispers of Wood wooden bladed knives are great for all sorts of food - cheese, charcuterie, bread, soft fruit and vegetables.
Whilst doing little or no damage to your special kitchen/serving boards, they are also light, strong, stylish, handmade and safe to use.
The ever evolving range of wooden bladed knives, designed to be functional pieces of art, are purchased not only for their practicality but for their innovation and intrigue. They are commonly purchased as special occasion gifts for cheese lovers and lovers of fine things.

Meet the maker - find the best knife to cut cheese
Hi everyone, Whispers of Wood is me - John. I am involved in all aspects of the business from making to selling.
I design and hand make products which I think will be useful and functional but as the same time look appealing. Why not make the mundane into the wonderful!
My products are sometimes experimental and often come from feedback and ideas from friends.
I love talking to people about my products and their ideas of how to use them. My greatest joy comes from hearing about how people love to use the things I have made. I passionately believe that my products are the best cheese knives available and the wooden boards I make are as individual as their maker!
I have lived and worked in three countries and love the diversity of culture which we have in the world today. I believe that using sustainable products in our everyday lives can be both enjoyable and befitting of our hopes to protect the wonderful world in which we live.
My product range relates to food with my wooden bladed cheese knives being the most talked about. People often ask me to do bespoke orders which I'm happy to do.
Please check out the Shop page to see what is currently available online, or visit one of my events to see how meticulous my work is.
Hope to see you soon.
John.

How to use and care for your cheese knife...
Lots of people ask what kind of foods the knives will cut. I can often be seen at events demonstrating how easily they cut through cheese. But inevitably someone always wants to know if they will cut everything to make their dinner.
So I tried it, the other night I made steak and veg. Preparing all of the vegetables using one of my knives and then even eating the meal with it. No problem at all.
We recommend our wooden bladed cheese knives for just that... cheese... of all varieties, but if you would like to use it for other things too, then it should do you proud.
I've made a short video for you to see how versatile the knives can be. All of the woods I use in the blades are extremely hard. However cutting wetter foods and repeated washing may cause the wood to 'fur'. If this happens, simply give it a light sand and oil.... or bring it to me at an event and I'll do it for you.
