Nanda Knives Forged AEB-L Chef 210mm Lignum Vitae

Nick Anderson is a custom bladesmith based in Northern California. A lifelong artist across illustration, glass, bronze sculpture, and metalsmithing, he found bladesmithing during five years living in Chiang Mai, Thailand — teaching himself the craft with help from fellow makers and the online forging community. Today Nick forges each knife by hand from his Redwood Coast studio, where he also teaches bladesmithing classes. His knives carry the mark of a maker shaped by a lifetime in the creative and metalworking arts.

This blade was hand forged from AEB-L stainless steel heat treated to 62hrc. This blade features a very well executed S-grind geometry for super smooth cutting feel and excellent food release. The spine had a unique design that can be used a a board scraper to move ingredients without damaging the edge. Great distal taper and very thin cutting edge. The handle is crafted from nickel, brass, and Lignum Vitae Wood with a through tang design and locked in handle end.
