Old growth meets modern pop.

Check out this latest custom build hot off the bench. We took a piece of old, weathered Cholla Cactus, stabilized it to perfection, and cast it in a deep, vibrant red acrylic. The natural organic honeycomb patterns of the desert wood contrasting against that bright crimson pour makes this a true collector's piece.

The Specs:
Blade Length: 4 inches
Overall Length: 8 inches
Build: Full tang for absolute durability Finish: Clean, non-reflective matte finish

This isn't just a tool; it's a conversation piece engineered to work.

Drop a comment below: What do you think of this red acrylic combo?

Had a blast in Master Smith Steve Culver's shop today learning hand engraving from Steve and Grant Nabity. Wonderful instruction and a kool goodie bag of engraving tools.

IT’S A WHAT????
“What did you just say?”
“A mushroom”
“No its not!! How in Odin’s missing eye patch did she do that?”
“If it is made with a natural material she can dry and stabilize it”
“Wait!! What kind of mushroom?”
“Those little shelf mushrooms that grow on the side of trees?”
“Shut up, no way in Eitri’s midnight hammer it’s a mushroom!! Really?”
“Yup, pretty neat looking isn’t it?”
“I didn’t expect it to be that dark, well I guess mushrooms do turn black if they mold, is it like that?”
“Yeah kind of, the oxidation turns it dark but you can still see the texture of the inside of the mushroom.”
“Damn that’s pretty neat, well since no one guessed it what are you going to do?”
“Well I guess we will have to put everyone in the pot.”
“Everyone? When are you going to announce it?”
“Tomorrow I guess, no since keeping everyone waiting.”
(An actual, factual, fictional, whimsical, conversation, that may or may not have happened in the shop)

There is nothing quite like watching a knife come together, but seeing the final piece under the lights is the best part.

This 4-inch Skinner features a razor-sharp 52100 high carbon steel blade, designed for serious field use. To give it a timeless look, we paired a rich cherry frame handle with a nickel guard and a custom bronze and copper collar. The contrast between the warm wood, the rich copper tones, and the bright nickel guard is exactly what we were aiming for.

Watch the video to see how the light hits that custom collar work!
