The everyday collection

RAW OAK

Workhorse knives named after the Norse gods.

Inspired by Scandinavian nature and the large oak tree behind Jacob’s childhood home. Stabilised oak handles, some fumed with our own oak-fuming method, others burnt, so no two are the same. Made in small batches in our workshop, every edge sharpened by hand.

RICEKNIFE FORGE Blood & Fire chef’s knife with copper and brass Damascus blade and African ebony handle

The FORGE series

FORGE

Paying attention when something unexpected creates a new possibility.

FORGE explores the character that can appear during the creative process. Blood & Fire began when a rough-ground blade, intended for another hammered project, unexpectedly went through heat treatment. The surface it revealed became the foundation for a new design.

HAP40 Bog Oak

Japanese steel, and Danish oak more than 7,000 years old.

Scandinavian oak · Designed in Denmark

End-Grain Oak

The fibres stand upright, so the knife edge goes down between them.

A 4.5 cm block of Scandinavian oak, finished with Jacob Bech's own wax: organic beeswax and food-grade mineral oil. Each board ships with that wax and Jacob's Board Care card. It can be sanded or resurfaced, so it is made to last for decades.
