We seek out knives, camp equipment and useful objects that earn their place — well considered, well made and chosen for more than a name on the box.

From established workshops to small specialist makers, Sawback brings together gear with character, purpose and a story worth knowing.

Our Story

EXPLORE — BUILT FOR KITCHEN, CAMP & TRAIL.

FROM PORTUGAL — CUTELARIA MARTINS

Traditional folding knives with character, utility and an unmistakably Portuguese identity.

Martins represents exactly what we look for at Sawback: useful objects from specialist makers, shaped by place, purpose and a tradition of making things properly.

THE SAWBACK STANDARD — WE DON'T NEED MORE GEAR. JUST BETTER GEAR.

  • USEFUL BY DESIGN

    Function comes first. Good design should make an object simpler, better or more satisfying to use.

  • MADE WITH PURPOSE

    We look for makers who understand what their products are meant to do — and build accordingly.

  • MATERIALS THAT AGE WELL

    Steel, wood, titanium, canvas and other materials chosen for performance, character and longevity.

  • WORTH KEEPING

    We favour objects that become familiar through use rather than disposable gear destined to be replaced.

CAMP COFFEE — GOOD COFFEE. FURTHER FROM HOME.

A good cup shouldn't depend on being close to a kitchen.

We're building a collection of compact, well-designed brewing gear for mornings at camp, stops along the road and anywhere worth lingering a little longer.
