Introducing The Forge Initiative: Chef April Bloomfield x Messermeister

At Messermeister, our mission is simple: to shape the world for the better.

That guiding principle is at the heart of The Forge Initiative—a powerful collaboration between Messermeister and celebrated chefs to create innovative, high-performance kitchen tools that give back. A portion of the proceeds from each product benefits nonprofit organizations personally selected by the chefs, allowing each knife to carry both purpose and precision.

More Than a Knife—A Mission

For decades, Messermeister has proudly supported nonprofit organizations. But with The Forge Initiative, we’ve taken that commitment to the next level. By partnering directly with chefs, we’re crafting knives that aren’t just beautifully made—they’re designed with intention and built to make a difference.

April Bloomfield x Messermeister: A Knife with Character

Our newest release in The Forge Initiative is the Carbon 6.5” Chef’s Knife, designed in collaboration with world-renowned chef April Bloomfield.

Known for her fearless approach to bold flavors and her unwavering dedication to quality, Chef Bloomfield has inspired chefs around the world—from her early days in the UK to her celebrated success across the globe. Her artistry, precision, and imaginative spirit guided every aspect of this knife’s design.

Designed for Performance and Personality

The Carbon 6.5” Chef’s Knife is anything but ordinary. It’s compact, yet powerful—perfectly crafted for cooks who want performance and control in every cut.

Key Features:

  • Deep wedge shape with a raised handle and shallow rocker—ideal for cutting on a board with ample hand clearance

  • Thoughtfully balanced weight—kept low and centered below the grip for speed and control

  • Extra control surfaces, including a pinch-grip groove near the spine for superior handling

  • Natural curved design that fits comfortably in your hand for fast, responsive movement

  • A special etched design on the back of the knife that reflects Chef Bloomfield’s artistic spirit and whimsical personality

Whether you’re chopping, slicing, or dicing, this compact chef’s knife delivers exceptional precision with a touch of creative flair.

A Knife That Gives Back

The Carbon 6.5” Chef’s Knife isn’t just a tool—it’s part of a movement. Through The Forge Initiative, your purchase helps support meaningful causes, empowering chefs and strengthening communities through the power of food.
