The pattern that results — flowing, organic, never repeated — is not applied to the surface. It runs through the steel itself.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt 58–60 HRC, the blade holds a sharp working edge through sustained outdoor use. The drop point profile keeps the tip strong for piercing while the curved belly handles slicing and field dressing tasks cleanly.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eThe Handle — Olive Wood \u0026amp; Zebrawood\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eOlive wood is dense, hard, and naturally resistant to moisture — one of the oldest handle materials in knife making. The grain runs in warm golden tones with natural variation that makes every piece different. Zebrawood adds contrast with its bold dark striping, and the brass pins lock the scales firmly to the full tang.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe result is a handle that looks like it belongs in a display case and feels like it belongs in the field.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eThe Sheath — Embossed Leather\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe brown leather sheath is embossed with a decorative pattern and hand-stitched with cream thread.
