About This Piece
This handcrafted clip point carries the look and feel of a classic field knife — rugged, balanced, and built with materials that tell their own story.
The blade is forged from high carbon steel and finished with a clean satin grind that highlights the strong clip point profile. Lean and purposeful, the blade shape offers excellent control while maintaining the strength expected from a hard-use knife.
The handle combines rich Cape Buffalo horn with a warm burlwood pommel, creating natural contrast between dark polish and organic grain. Every angle of the handle catches light differently, giving the knife a distinctive presence without sacrificing function. Nickel silver fittings tie the entire piece together with a refined custom finish.
Detailed hand file work along the spine adds texture and craftsmanship throughout the build — the kind of detail that rewards a closer look and reminds you this knife was shaped by hand, not stamped out by a machine.
This is the kind of knife equally at home in a collector’s display or carried into the field for years of honest use.

Maker’s Note:
Natural materials always leave their own fingerprint on a knife. No two pieces of horn or burlwood ever finish the same, and that’s part of what makes each build one of a kind.
