Forged from layers of recycled bourbon barrel straps and copper with a high performance 26C3 carbon steel core, this partial tang paring knife has an energy that says “i’m your friend”. Between the blade materials and the unique partial tang construction, this one is sure to excite all who hold it. K-tip blade and form fitting handle say “use me”.

What originally started as making a unique material for a custom order turned into a rabbit hole. I have become obsessed with making this material combination work and am still working through it. Countless hours and failures have lead to some of the smallest useable chunks for steel to forge blades from - a process that is both heartbreaking and challenging. Each attempt yields just enough success to keep me coming back for more. Every completed blade represents four that ended up in the scrap bucket.

  • size: 3 1/2” blade / 7 5/8” overall / 15/16” heel

  • weight: 62 grams

  • blade: 26C3 carbon steel, bourbon barrel straps, copper, hand finish
