The relics that became this carving knife slumbered for over a century beside the historic Opaki Racecourse stables, silent witnesses to the thunder of modern engines and the relentless march of time. Destiny stirred when Benjamin arrived, transforming forgotten fragments. He hand-forged the blade from layered 1084 & 15N20 Damascus steel, enveloped in reclaimed wrought iron from a Victorian wagon wheel—its ancient fibrous veins etched to evoke the blacksmiths' enduring craft. The rich, polished hardwood handle and bespoke display stand are hewn from the very same time-worn wagon spoke, blending heritage with precision for today's culinary adventures. Blade length: 270mm Overall length: 415mm Year: 2026Artist: Benjamin Madden ⚔️ If you would like to purchase this piece but live outside of New Zealand or Australia, please contact us directly to discuss your international shipping options.
