An In depth look

Blade Type

The Nakiri knife, revered in Japanese culinary traditions, is engineered for exceptional vegetable cutting. Featuring a distinct, straight-edged, and rectangular blade, it excels in creating uniform, precise cuts and aesthetic presentation. Its technical design ensures efficiency and precision, making it a valuable tool for both professional chefs and home cooks.

Steel Type

Japanese Blue Super Steel, an elite variant of the "Aogami" series, is a high-carbon steel alloyed with chromium, tungsten, and added vanadium. This composition enhances its wear resistance, edge retention, and overall toughness. It will still rust if left wet for too long, but not as quickly as any of the other carbon steels. Favored in fine knife crafting, Blue Super Steel is renowned for producing exceptionally sharp and durable Japanese knives.

Care Information

This knife is made from a high-carbon steel and as such, will require a little more care than a regular off-the-shelf knife. It must be dried shortly after use, as prolonged exposure to moisture can cause rust spots to appear. A very light coat of oil during storage also helps to prevent rust spots. A patina (colouration and seasoning of the steel) will occur with use.

Introducing

Blenheim Forge

What began as a backyard experiment by James Ross-Harris and Jon Warshawsky — using a handmade forge and charcoal fire — has evolved into one of the UK’s most respected knifemaking workshops. Based in Arch 229, Blenheim Grove, a historic railway arch in London with a deep connection to metalwork, Blenheim Forge now produces handcrafted kitchen knives celebrated by chefs and home cooks around the world.

With the addition of Richard Warner, a machine-making specialist, the team brought together precision, creativity, and traditional forging to create blades that are both functional and striking. Every knife from Blenheim Forge reflects a commitment to small-batch craftsmanship, thoughtful design, and a distinctly modern British approach to an ancient craft.
