Bodman – Fafnir K-Tipped Slicer with Brass Stingray Handle 

Fafnir K-Tipped Slicer with Brass Stingray Handle 
 
I came up with the idea for this profile of knife while I was still working as a chef, running the busy fish and garnish section at the 3 Michelin starred L’enclume in Cumbria. With limited space on the section I wanted a knife that could do pretty much everything that section required. From breaking down whole Turbots to V-ing out Mackerel, slicing delicately cooked scallops during service and finely chopping herbs, this style of knife was perfect. The handle is a resin and brass material from a company down the road from me makes beautiful wall panels as well as bespoke kitchens. The mould was designed using stingray leather and the textured handle is great while prepping fish.
