When we approached Nguyên and his wife in Hanoi with the idea for a new boning knife, we asked them to create something they had never made before. We wanted a blade that reflected their craftsmanship while delivering uncompromising performance for precision butchery. The result is the custom Green Goblin.
Hand-forged in an extremely limited run of just two blades, the Green Goblin is built around premium M390 powdered stainless steel, finished with a beautiful hand-forged Damascus pattern. Renowned for its exceptional wear resistance, outstanding corrosion resistance, and remarkable edge retention, M390 is one of the world’s most respected high-performance knife steels.
Heat treated to maximize its potential, the blade is capable of taking an incredibly refined edge and maintaining it through extended use.
Unlike many traditional boning knives, the Green Goblin was intentionally designed with a stiff blade rather than a flexible one. This provides significantly greater control when trimming silver skin, separating muscles, removing fat, or making precise cuts where accuracy matters more than flexibility. Every aspect of its geometry was developed with precision in mind.
Because of the hardness required to achieve this level of cutting performance, this blade is not intended for cutting through bones, prying, or twisting against hard materials. Like any high-hardness premium knife, it should be reserved for precision butchery rather than heavy-duty bone work. Used as intended, it rewards the user with extraordinary sharpness, exceptional edge retention, and an effortless cutting feel.
Each blade is hand-forged, hand-ground, and hand-finished by Nguyên and his wife in Vietnam. Offered as a blade only, it gives the future owner the freedom to select or create a custom handle that perfectly matches their preferences.
