Our story
Great food starts with honest tools.
Cardmint was founded in 2019 in London by a chef and a metalworker who wanted cookware that would still be in the kitchen fifty years from now.
From foundry to table.
We started with a simple frustration: most pans were built to be replaced. Coatings wore out, handles came loose and knives went dull within a year. We wanted the opposite — tools that get better the more you cook with them.
Today our small team designs every Cardmint piece in-house and works with family-run foundries, forges and woodshops that share our standards. Every skillet is machined smooth, every blade hand-sharpened and every board oiled by hand.
We're independent, and proud of it. Every design is original, every piece is tested by real cooks before release, and every order is packed by our UK fulfilment team.
What we stand for
01
Fewer, better tools
We make a small range on purpose. Every piece earns its place on the stove, the counter or the knife block.
02
Tested in real kitchens
Each design is cooked with by professional chefs and home cooks for months before it goes on sale.
03
Non-toxic materials
Iron, steel, ceramic and solid wood. No PFAS, PTFE, lead or cadmium — ever.
04
Built to last
Lifetime warranties on cast iron and knives, free sharpening and a repair-first approach to every claim.
