The exact grades include: 

  • Stainless grade = AEBL or Nitro-V

  • High grade stainless = Magnacut

  • Carbon = 52100 or Pops Procut.

  • Damascus selection varies based on customer choice.

Blade Finish 

Stone Washed
Machine Satin
Hand Rubbed Satin

Special Notes: 

  • Carbon blades will typically come with forged texture on them, illustrating the traditional forging process. 

  • Carbon blades will develop a patina over time, this is natural and is caused by acidic foods.

Handle Material

​Special Notes:

  • Combination scales may be chosen for handle materials. These scales may include an assortment of different materials in one handle. The possibilities are really endless, and a high amount of creativity can be used to come up with an amazing looking knife handle. If you are interested, see the images below for a few examples. I would also suggest google searching some options, as my knives are only a small combination of possibilities.

  • Resin scales can practically have anything cast inside of them (within reason). Reach out for any ideas or inquiries!

  • If you are interested in a hidden tang construction, please reach out to discuss details.

  • Please note that the images below are a few examples of each option. For the complete handle options, contact me for a link to view the suppliers website.
