Korben Bloomfield - Knifemaker
About
Korben Bloomfield crafts one-of-a-kind knives & tools along with his brother at their workshop in Kent.
He dedicates his time to bladesmithing with the express intent to create functional objects as unique as any in the world.
As Korben puts it, "I never take the easy route as a maker." He forges striking chef's knives by hand from steel formulas for which his brother often makes the starting billet in close collaboration.
Korben's knives often feature beautifully sculpted integral bolsters, comfortable, purposefully shaped handles of wood stabilized in-house, and blades of strikingly etched finishes that boast superb geometry and workhorse utility. Delivered with custom wooden boxes, each object from the man behind KWB Knives is a wonderful marriage of form and function.
