Knife with Copper Leaf Hybrid Handle

Founded in 2018 by Matt Halpin in Atlanta, our store has quickly become a trusted name in the knife industry. We specialize in offering unique and exquisite wood and resin creations that showcase the natural beauty of various wood species, as well as bold casting techniques.

Our wide range of scales include segmented sets using exotic wood species such as Gaboon Ebony and Chechen Burl, as well as a number of hybrid designs including elements like metal leaves and meshes. Each piece is carefully selected and crafted to ensure the utmost quality and attention to detail.
