100 mm "Fairlady" Paring

GCW-FAI01

bladesmith: Walker


The Fairlady takes its name from the speed and grace of the 1970 Suzuka 1000km race winner, but its job is decidedly closer to home. Its compact profile is designed for the small, precise tasks that make up so much of kitchen prep, from peeling and coring in hand to mincing and trimming on the cutting board. The proportions keep it agile without making it feel delicate.

Greyson Walker

Greyson Walker’s interest in knives began while studying product design in college. When he discovered he could reliably substitute his X-Acto blade for a Spyderco pocketknife — and sharpen it rather than discard it when dull — he began collecting and customizing blades. After graduating, Greyson worked as a handle maker for Murray Carter for nearly a decade before joining the team at Acre Knife.

Greyson’s reputation for meticulously finished handles carries into the thoughtful knife designs of his Signature collection. The knives pair high-performance steel blades, often suited to outdoor tasks, with refined modern handle materials, more commonly found in aerospace and automotive applications.
