Arboreal Chef Knife
Arboreal Chef Knife
The Arboreal Chef’s Knife is a blade inspired by the beauty of nature. Forged from my recent Damascus steel pattern of the same name (Arboreal), it features an intricate fern-like pattern that evokes the delicate elegance of forest foliage.
This pattern was quite challenging to conceive, but I’m really happy with how it all came together to form the look of weaving fronds.
As always, I wanted to try some new things with the handle of this knife as well - the handle features formed brass liners that give a gleam of gold, and a touch of luxury. A series of polished domed pins create a stunning contrast against the textured carbon fiber which tie the design together nicely.
An S-Grind for reducing friction in the cut and some special forged/sculpted elements in the bolster make this knife just that much more special.
