Korben Bloomfield

Hand crafted in The United Kingdom

Korben Bloomfield is a British bladesmith whose work reflects a deep respect for material honesty, nuanced geometry, and uncompromising construction. Operating from his family-run workshop under the KWB Knives name, Korben brings a methodical, self-taught approach to contemporary knifemaking—an approach shaped by years of experimenting, refining, and pushing steel to its limits.

His journey began in 2015 with an obsession for understanding the fundamentals: forge welding, heat-treating, and the structural integrity that separates a beautiful knife from a truly capable one. By 2017, Korben committed to full-time bladesmithing, guided by a simple philosophy: performance must always lead, and materials—no matter how striking—should never be used to disguise inferior craftsmanship.

Today, Korben focuses primarily on kitchen cutlery, drawing from experience that spans everything from razors to long blades. His knives are defined by controlled geometry, clean execution, and a quiet confidence born from iteration. Each piece is tested, adjusted, and refined until it reaches a standard that borders on perfectionism—an approach that has made KWB Knives a rising name among collectors seeking honest, high-performance blades built to last.
