Choose options
The Silk Trader is a knife of rare elegance; an homage to the opulence of ancient trade routes where silk, steel, and secrets once crossed continents. At its core lies razor-sharp 80CRV2 steel, clad in striking Tigermai Damascus with bronze and copper tones that shimmer like windblown silk.
The guard and pommel are crafted from heat-anodized Damascus, revealing deep violet and blue hues that echo regal tradition. The handle is accented with handmade mosaic pins for a refined finish.
There are two variations available: The Silk Trader and the Silk Trader Extended. Each piece is paired with a hand-sewn leather sheath and crafted one at a time - no two are quite alike. For the serious collector, The Silk Trader is more than a blade; it is a legacy in steel.
