Jerarmie Heywood, a former chef and fabricator, forges under the Oblivion Blades name near Newcastle. The work is built around Damascus and san-mai billets in both Japanese and Western steels, run out as a rolling catalogue of culinary blades: nakiri, cleavers and gyutos, often in short numbered runs. Handles favour Australian timbers, and the pieces carry recognisable, idiosyncratic shapes rather than catalogue silhouettes.
