Custom chef knife bladesmith Kip Kaboli will be exhibiting his first batch of publicly available knives at Permanent Orbit in Manchester city centre. Each unique chef knife has been forged by Kip, with his take on the Japanese-style chef knife.
Using traditional techniques of layering different steels, from complex high carbon knife steels to rusty foraged wrought iron, the knives are hand-sharpened on whetstones to achieve refined, fine, sharp edges. Drinks will be available from Reddish Ales and Track Brewing, with Figure 42 creating the soundtrack.
