Endeavour knives and kitchen tools – Scandinavian design

Endeavour

Behind Endeavour stand the Danish chefs Nikolaj Kirk and Mikkel Maarbjerg. From the very beginning, the company’s mission has been to develop and produce top-quality kitchen tools that meet the needs of professional chefs. With a distinctly Scandinavian design language and exceptional quality, Endeavour’s knives and utensils have long earned a loyal following.

“Endeavour” means “to strive”, and for Kirk + Maarbjerg it serves as a reminder to constantly explore new corners of the global kitchen – including when it comes to kitchen tools. The Endeavour range features materials sourced from around the world, including Japanese Damascus steel, Chinese bamboo and exceptionally strong FSC-certified Pakka wood.

The relationship between great ingredients, handcrafted food and true dedication lies at the heart of Kirk + Maarbjerg’s approach to modern cooking – and naturally, this spirit is reflected in the creation of every Endeavour product.

Maintenance and care
