#256 Needlepoint | San-Mai

This Needlepoint features a hand-forged San-Mai blade with a 15N20 core jacketed in 1095 carbon steel. The layered construction showcases the beauty of forge-welded steel while delivering exceptional cutting performance and a distinctive pattern unique to every blade. Precision jimping along the spine provides enhanced control, ensuring the knife feels as capable in the hand as it looks on display.

The handle combines richly figured maple burl with vibrant orange resin, creating a striking contrast that guarantees no two knives are ever the same. Matching orange liners accent the profile, while solid brass pins complete the build with timeless strength and elegance.

A handcrafted black leather sheath provides secure carry and complements the classic character of this custom piece.
