Hand Forged Kitchen Knife

Using traditional techniques of fire, hammer & anvil, blacksmith Jeremiah Backhaus recreates the past for everyday modern use in this beautiful hand forged kitchen knife. The knife has a zebrawood and ebony handle with copper spacer.

Jeremiah Backhaus is a blacksmith based in West Bend, Wisconsin. Born and raised in Alaska, he expressed an interest in metalwork very early. He built his first forge at the age of 11 and started a fire that hasn't gone out. He went to Wisconsin for school and met Dan Nauman of Bighorn Forge. Jeremiah proceeded to spend as much time as he could with Dan and a friendship quickly struck up between the two. Jeremiah was able to help with a few notable projects for Dan, including a gold metal winning restoration job in Ohio. In 2017, Jeremiah won his individual award by being on Forged in Fire on the History channel. His episode (Viking Edition season 4 episode 23) showed his love of history and forging. Additionally, Jeremiah is a Forged in Fire champion.
