“Classic Lines, Modern Strength”
This knife balances elegance and grit — a piece that looks right at home in the field or in a collector’s case. The 80CrV2 blade was heat-treated using the hamon technique, giving it that soft contrast between the bright, hardened edge and the darker, tempered spine. It’s not just for show — that transition adds real toughness and flexibility, letting the blade handle the hard work without losing its edge.
The handle is made from antique paper Micarta, a material with a rich, warm tone that ages beautifully. Each side is laser-engraved with a deer skull and vine motif, a design that honors the outdoors and the tradition of craftsmanship. Copper and brass Loveless fasteners anchor the scales securely, while a nickel silver bolster adds strength and balance. Along the spine, Jeff hand-filed a clean, repeating pattern that draws the eye to the emerald-green felt liners — a subtle pop of color that sets the whole piece apart.
It’s the kind of knife that’s meant to be used, admired, and eventually passed down.

Maker’s Note
“A good knife should feel like it belongs in your hand — strong, balanced, and ready to work. Every detail on this one was shaped to get that feeling just right.”
