The story behind this knife
An elegant, high-performance showpiece engineered to turn large-scale carving into an effortless art form.
One of one. Never to be repeated.
"A great carving knife should feel like an extension of your arm, capable of executing long, sweeping strokes without tearing the meat. At 285mm, this is a serious tool built for grand presentations. I paired an ultra-pure ApexUltra core with a thin convex edge geometry to split cleanly through proteins, while opting for a modern, tapered hexagonal WA handle to ensure effortless balance and steering control."Korben Bloomfield

The Making of This Knife
Crafting the Art of the Presentation Slice
The carving knife is the ultimate ceremonial tool in the kitchen; it is the blade that finishes the work hours of cooking have put into a meal, right in front of your guests. For this 285mm piece, the challenge was balancing massive length with absolute agility.
Forging a blade of this scale using a San-Mai construction requires immense control to keep the ultra-hard ApexUltra core perfectly centered down the entire length of the steel. As we meticulously ground the blade into a thin convex profile, the beautiful, undulating boundary line between the stainless jacket and the carbon core was revealed. Look closely in the right light, and you can see the ghost-like patterns of alloy banding locked within the cladding itself—a true mark of custom, small-batch steelcraft.
To complement this long, elegant silhouette, we steered away from standard handle shapes to craft a highly geometric, tapered hexagonal WA handle. It shifts the balance point perfectly to the heel, making this massive 285mm carver feel surprisingly weightless, nimble, and authoritative in the hand.
