Spalted Tamarind and Damascus Steel Nakiri Knife

Bodman Blades' six-inch Nakiri Knife is a popular choice among professional chefs and food enthusiasts because of its stylish design and practicality. The knife features a feather carbon damascus steel blade and a traditional 'Wa'-style handle made from Indonesian Spalted Tamarind wood, which is known for its unique and distinctive appearance. Spalted wood undergoes a natural process of decay and discoloration caused by fungi breaking down the wood fibers, resulting in intricate dark lines and a one-of-a-kind wood grain pattern. This balance of elegance and efficiency makes this knife a perfect choice for those who appreciate both form and function.

Chef and farmer Ben Bodman doesn't recall a moment in his life where he didn’t feel the solid grip of a knife in his hand. While working at L’Enclume in the Lake District, he became fascinated with knife-making and built his own coal forge from an ancient 50-gallon oil drum. Now, he hand-forges super-fine carbon steel knives in his workshop on his family farm in Wiltshire, repeatedly sharpening blades on a whetstone and perfecting each one with a glossy wax to ensure they last a lifetime. Look out for limited edition pieces that are exclusive to ABASK.
