Meet the Magpie
These birds are Aussie icons. You hear them every morning. They're smart and can adapt. Our knife is like them - adaptable and tough. Magpies like shiny things, so we added steel. It's about finding beauty in common things. Why Magpie? We see them every day, everywhere. From July to November, they build nests. They defend their territory fiercely. Sometimes, they swoop. That's the Magpie.

The Magpie—the cornerstone of our Aviary Collection is renowned for its intelligence and adaptability. It's fitting that our flagship knife pays homage to this iconic bird, symbolising strength, versatility, and community.
