Description
The full Nick Anger experience in workhorse chef knife form—a blade built to work the kitchen day in and day out, rendered in a one-of-a-kind handcrafted style guaranteed to turn heads. Forged by hand at Nick’s Vermont studio, the Aurora Bubbles Chef takes its name from both the animated damascus pattern and the aurora borealis–like micarta highlight glowing along the horizon of the handle’s dark sky.
Thin yet tough behind a razor-sharp edge, the blade delivers 208mm / 8.2” of cutting power to the board, backed by tall, symmetrical convex bevels that ensure confident performance across a wide range of ingredients. Standing 54mm tall at the heel with a gently curved edge profile, the blade rocks and chops beautifully, while the low, strong, pointed tip is positioned for precise slicing and detail work.
Twisting and turning, expanding and contracting, the damascus layers take on an organic sense of movement that flows seamlessly back through the forged integral handle bolster—an iconic element of Nick’s work and a key contributor to the exceptional comfort felt in the pinch grip. Completing the handle in a clean, elongated, tapering form are two matched pieces of black micarta, separated by a subtle aurora-like glow of purples and pinks. Balancing just at the blade’s choil, this Nick Anger chef knife is designed to disappear into the hand, becoming a natural extension of the cook from the very first cut.
