For our debut at Salon Art + Design 2023, Ben Bodman expanded his selection of blades to include this only-at-ABASK carving set, hand forged on his family farm in Wiltshire. The two-tone amboyna burl wood handles are harvested from the narra tree, which is native to the Philippines and said to symbolise the resilience of its people. It's so durable that it was the first burl wood to feature on a Rolls Royce dashboard. And it doesn’t stop there, as Bodman sources his steel in plain, layered bars from world-renowned Swedish supplier Damasteel, which he artfully manipulates by removing parts of the material until he reaches his desired pattern.

Material: damascus steel
Country of origin: United Kingdom
Dimensions: 40cm (l) / 16" (l)
Cleaning: handwash only
Colour: silver and brown

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.
