I am always working on new knife ideas and designs to better meet your knife interests."

This superb folding knife is a true showcase of high-end artistry and materials.

The handle is fashioned from rare brain coral, adding organic texture and visual depth, while the thumb stud is elegantly inlaid with white mother of pearl, offering a luminous accent that reflects fine detail work. Completing the piece, the fileworked backspacer and liners add a flourish of craftsmanship visible from every angle—making this knife not only a functional tool but a remarkable collector’s piece.
