{"product_id":"fault-line-chefs-set","title":"Fault Line Chef's Set","description":"\u003cp\u003eUtility is never compromised in bladesmith Korben Bloomfield's high-performance handmade chef knives, yet his bold style and eye for design ensure each build is also a striking work of contemporary art. With the three-knife Fault Line Chef's Set, presented here on a custom-made display stand, Bloomfield builds around a single, unmistakable signature: a bright, jagged seam of pure nickel that cracks across each dark, oil-slick blade like a fault line caught mid-shift.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe set includes a slicer, a santoku, and a parer, each hand-forged at Korben's UK workshop from the same house-made go-mai formula: an ApexUltra tungsten-carbon core, clad on both sides in reclaimed wrought iron and divided from it by that same layer of pure nickel, a structural inclusion that inhibits carbon migration away from the edge during forging and hardening. The wrought iron carries its own history through visible alloy banding, no two blades reading quite alike, while Korben's dark, oil-slick finish along the edge, built up through etching and forced patination, sets the nickel seam glowing against the surrounding steel. Satin-polished convex bevels contrast with forge-textured spines and tangs, proof these blades were shaped by hand rather than machine. Especially keen from heel to glass-thin tips that practically disappear, each is a precision instrument designed for purposeful movements on the board.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe slicer runs long and slim at 280mm, built for clean, single-pass cuts through roasts and other large proteins. The santoku, at 200mm, splits the difference, equally at home with vegetables, fish, or meat. The parer, compact at 120mm, handles the close, small work every kitchen needs done by hand.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach blade is fitted with a handle of dense, dark ebony, finished simply with domed and polished stainless pins so the steel stays the focus. Presented together on its stand, the Fault Line Chef's Set reads as a single, cohesive statement, three tools built to move as one through a working kitchen.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSlicer - Blade length: 280mm \/ 11\".
