Pull it from the leather. The feathers catch the light.
There’s a moment—right after the blade leaves the sheath—when everything slows down.
The hand-forged feather pattern flashes under the light. Not printed. Not machine-etched.
Each ripple is formed by hammer strikes, one by one, leaving no identical blade in existence.
This one is yours.
Hammered Copper. Living Materials.
Your hand meets a copper guard shaped by hammer, not perfection.
It’s textured, irregular, and intentionally raw—marked by the rhythm of craftsmanship rather than factory polish.
Cool at first touch. Then warm with use.
Behind it sits natural rosewood, with grain patterns like topographic lines carved by time itself—organic, stable, and made to disappear into your grip.
Built for Field Work, Not Display
The 14 cm blade is forged from 7Cr17MoV stainless steel—designed for real outdoor conditions.
It holds an edge through demanding tasks:
- Field dressing and game processing
- Wood carving and feather stick preparation
- Camp utility and survival use
- Wet, humid, unpredictable environments
At 204 grams, the balance sits just behind the guard, giving controlled precision for fine work and enough weight for confident cutting.
A Blade With Presence
The brass hex end cap completes the structure with a subtle industrial contrast, anchoring the knife with balance and weight.
Every detail serves a purpose. Nothing is decorative for its own sake.
When the work is done, the blade returns to its genuine leather sheath—secure, quiet, ready for the next journey.
Total carry weight: 264 grams of function and craft on your belt.
