Totally stoked the blade fold looks amazing accurate to photos of purchase. My new favourite. Great size & weight, hoping to be quick enough for a deer antler handle next. Beautiful knives.

product features

San Mai Damascus with a Japanese VG10 core. If you know steel, you know that's a proper combination.

The VG10 core gives you a razor edge that holds, and the stainless Damascus cladding adds toughness and corrosion resistance around it. The raindrop pattern across the blade isn't decorative — it's a result of how the steel is forged, and every blade comes out different.

This is a boning knife first. Slim, precise, and versatile enough to handle filleting work as well. It moves cleanly through fish frames, cartilage, and meat without dragging or tearing.

The handle is natural abalone shell in clear resin — built for wet conditions and built to last. Comes with a Kydex sheath and free engraving.

Built to order. Handmade in Anna Bay. Backed for life.

Specs:
Steel: Stainless raindrop Damascus San Mai, VG10 core
