Burl Walnut Handle

The burl walnut handle showcases natural grain swirls and figuring that make every piece one of a kind. The black steel bolster provides a strong visual break between blade and handle while adding structural integrity at the transition point. Hidden tang construction gives the handle a seamless, finished profile from bolster to pommel cap.

Butterfly-Embossed Leather Sheath

A full-grain leather sheath with butterfly embossing and a snap button retention closure is included. The decorative embossing pattern adds visual character while the snap closure keeps the knife secure during storage and transport. Natural leather variation in tone and texture is expected and adds to the handcrafted character of this piece.

Frequently Asked Questions

What makes burl walnut different from regular walnut?
Burl walnut comes from abnormal tree growths that produce swirling, irregular grain patterns. No two burl pieces look alike, making each HS-868 handle visually unique.

What are the full dimensions of the HS-868?
Overall length is 14.5 inches — the blade is 9 inches and the handle is 5.5 inches including the black bolster.

Is a sheath included with this knife?
Yes. A full-grain leather sheath with butterfly embossing and a snap button retention closure is included with every order.

Is the HS-868 entirely handmade?
Yes. Every HS-868 is hand-forged and assembled without CNC machining. Minor variations in the Damascus pattern, burl grain, and leather finish are natural and expected in individually crafted pieces.
