Considerations & Trade-offs
- The included display case and imported burgundy leather sheath make this as much a presentation piece as a working knife, so it may be less suited to buyers who want a simpler field carry setup.
- The ironwood and elk antler handle scales, along with the water buffalo spacer and brass rivets, give it a distinctive look, but that also means each knife has a more specialized, collectible character than a plain utility build.
- As part of the 2024 We Are Knifemakers Series with only 18 made, availability is extremely limited, so replacement or matching additions may be difficult to source later.
- The premium pricing reflects the exclusive build and materials, which may be more than some hunters want to dedicate to a knife intended for hard use.
