The handle is crafted from stabilized chestnut burl combined with stabilized mammoth ivory, which is over 40,000 years old. Between the materials lies a conical inlay of matte tin, creating a discreet and harmonious transition. The handle measures 120 mm in length.

The blade is forged in cu san-mai steel with a core of the proven tool steel 1.2842, also known as O2 steel. This high-quality carbon steel is particularly valued for its edge retention, durability, and excellent sharpening properties. The surface is forge-finished, giving a rustic and honest character, where the smith’s hand can almost be felt in every line and irregularity. Small scratches and hammer marks may appear, but these details are precisely what make the blade lively and unique. The blade measures 100 mm in length.

Along the grind, close to the edge, run two fine bands of copper. These provide a warm and subtle detail that both enhances the overall impression and highlights the care taken in crafting the knife. The result is a fine balance between the raw and the refined.

The knife comes with a sheath made of hardened leather, decorated with a carved and tooled dragon motif in Viking style. The sheath is stitched with pearl seams, completing the piece with a sense of both strength and tradition.
