This knife draws inspiration from my Intrepid series, with a sleek, modern blade profile featuring an upper swedge and decorative holes that add style and reduce weight.

The handle is made from "Purple Haze" Krinite—a professional-grade acrylic known for its deep, swirling colors and durability in both gun and knife applications. It's set with two mosaic pins that add a refined, eye-catching touch.

The steel is high-carbon 1095. Many professional makers stand by it—and it’s a favorite on shows like Forged in Fire—but I’ll be upfront: it’s not stainless, so it will rust without regular care. I crafted this piece before adding a stainless-compatible heat-treat oven to my shop, which requires a serious investment. While some folks say “just dry and oil it,” I believe honesty matters. If you love traditional high-carbon steel and don’t mind a little upkeep, this blade will serve you well.

It’s a beautiful, capable knife built with intention—and backed by a maker who cares deeply about the details.
