Overview
Edge of Belgravia is an English kitchen-cutlery brand and manufacturer associated with chef knives and knife-storage products. The company was founded in London in 2010 and developed a product range combining functional kitchen equipment with a deliberately contemporary visual identity. Its best-known lines include layered Japanese-steel knives, ceramic-bladed knives with colored rubber handles, and stainless-steel knives using non-stick blade coatings. It also produces the Black Diamond knife block, a molded storage product designed to complement its knife ranges. The brand's product portfolio is organized around distinct material and design concepts rather than a single uniform blade platform. The Tasekiso series, previously known as Damascus, uses a VG-10 Japanese high-carbon-steel core surrounded by 67 layers of steel. This construction is presented as a premium option within the range and emphasizes blade layering, steel composition, and traditional-looking patterning. The Ceramic Onyx and Ceramic Lime series use blades made from sintered zirconium oxide mixed with cobalt. Their principal distinction is the handle color: Ceramic Onyx uses black rubber, while Ceramic Lime uses lime-green rubber. The contrasting colors give the ceramic range a strong lifestyle and design orientation in addition to its culinary function. The Precision series, introduced in 2014, uses stainless-steel blades with ILAG non-stick coatings and rubber handles. This line extends the brand's material experimentation into a more conventional steel-blade format while retaining the emphasis on grip and ease of use. The Black Diamond block is made from injection-molded plastic with a thermoplastic-rubber coating and serves as a storage solution for knives. Available reference material identifies Edge of Belgravia primarily as a knife and knife-block manufacturer rather than a property developer or real-estate company. Its positioning is therefore best understood as design-led kitchen cutlery, with differentiation based on blade materials, handle finishes, color, and storage design. Publicly available information supplied for this entry does not establish its current ownership, corporate structure, leadership, financial performance, or present operating status.
History
Edge of Belgravia was founded in London in 2010 as an English manufacturer focused on chef knives and related knife-storage products. The available historical record is limited, but the brand's early development centered on creating multiple kitchen-knife series differentiated by blade construction, handle material, and visual styling. In 2011, the company introduced three principal product families. The series now called Tasekiso was originally launched under the name Damascus. Its blades were described as having 67 layers of Japanese high-carbon steel built around a VG-10 core, establishing a premium, layered-steel proposition. In the same year, Edge of Belgravia introduced Ceramic Onyx and Ceramic Lime. Both used ceramic blades made from sintered zirconium oxide mixed with cobalt, while their rubber handles distinguished the two lines visually: Ceramic Onyx used black and Ceramic Lime used lime green. The ceramic lines expanded the brand beyond conventional steel cutlery and made handle color a visible part of product identity. This combination of material differentiation and strong color coding became a recurring characteristic of the brand's range. Edge of Belgravia also produced the Black Diamond knife block, an injection-molded plastic storage product with a thermoplastic-rubber coating. The block formed part of the brand's broader approach to treating knife storage as a designed kitchen object rather than merely an accessory. In 2014, the company introduced the Precision series. These knives used stainless-steel blades with ILAG non-stick coatings and rubber handles, adding a coated steel option to the existing layered-steel and ceramic offerings. The available sources do not provide further dated milestones concerning distribution, ownership, management, manufacturing locations, corporate transactions, financial results, or later product development. Consequently, the current status and scale of Edge of Belgravia cannot be established with confidence from the supplied material.

Products and positioning
Design-led kitchen cutlery combining premium and alternative blade materials with distinctive colored rubber handles and contemporary knife-storage products.
Chef knives · 2011
Tasekiso
The Tasekiso series was originally introduced under the name Damascus. Its blades use a VG-10 Japanese high-carbon-steel core surrounded by 67 layers of steel. The construction gives the range a premium, layered-blade identity and distinguishes it from Edge of Belgravia's ceramic and coated stainless-steel offerings.
Ceramic kitchen knives · 2011
Ceramic Onyx
Ceramic Onyx knives use ceramic blades manufactured from sintered zirconium oxide mixed with cobalt. The series is visually identified by black rubber handles, combining a dark monochrome appearance with the lightweight ceramic-blade concept used across the brand's ceramic range.
Ceramic kitchen knives · 2011
Ceramic Lime
Ceramic Lime uses the same stated ceramic blade material as the Ceramic Onyx series: sintered zirconium oxide mixed with cobalt. Its lime-green rubber handle provides the defining visual difference and gives the product a brighter, more expressive design character.
Stainless-steel kitchen knives · 2014
Precision
The Precision series uses stainless-steel blades treated with ILAG non-stick coatings and fitted with rubber handles. It provides a coated-steel alternative to the brand's layered Tasekiso knives and ceramic ranges while retaining Edge of Belgravia's emphasis on tactile handles and contemporary styling.
Knife block
Black Diamond
Black Diamond is a knife-storage block made from injection-molded plastic with a thermoplastic-rubber coating. It is part of Edge of Belgravia's accessory range and is designed to store and present the company's knives as a coordinated kitchen product system.
