This knife is a hand-forged UK legal slipjoint knife. I wanted to combine the traditional style of Sheffield pocketknives with some of the aspects of historical Viking folding knives. This slipjoint has a 'forced notch' style mechanism, meaning that it has a very solid 'snap' and requires more force to close - making it considerably safer in use.

This knife has a pattern-welded San-Mai blade with a 1084 cutting edge/core. The handle is handmade from steel liners with Thuya burl scales. 

The knife is accompanied by a handmade leather pocket slip allowing you to attach the knife to a lanyard for belt or neck carry. The leather has been sealed and waterproofed with a mixture of linseed oil and beeswax from our own apiaries.
