Material Excellence, Tailored by Hand
Desert Ironwood Exhibition Grade – Rare Density, Deep Grain, and Natural Oil
Desert Ironwood is among the rarest and most stable woods used in fine knife handles. Harvested from the Sonoran Desert, it is prized for its dark, swirling grain, dense mass, and rich oil content — which make it impervious to moisture, movement, or decay. The Exhibition Grade variety ensures the highest level of visual detail and colour depth. Each handle is shaped and polished by hand to reveal the wood’s complexity and sculptural weight.

Black Liner – Reinforced Core with Elegant Contrast
A black liner lies between tang and timber, adding strength to the structure and sophistication to the form. This discrete line of contrast provides both function and flow.

15n20 x 1095 Mosaic Damascus – Patterned Steel with Depth and Identity
The blade is forged from a Mosaic Damascus blend of 15n20 and 1095 steels — two high-carbon materials that combine to form stunning visual movement and a razor-sharp edge. Created by layering, twisting, and pattern-welding by hand, this steel produces decorative motifs in the grain of the metal itself. These aren’t etched designs — they’re forged into the structure, making every blade a work of art.

Key Attributes of Mosaic Damascus (15n20 x 1095):
• Exceptional edge sharpness and retention
• Rich pattern development unique to each blade
• High visual depth and structural performance
• Layered steel – forged and patterned, not printed
• Collectible forged knife steel with artisan distinction
