Redemption – Custom Persian-Inspired Field & Collector’s Knife

The Redemption is far more than a knife—it is a celebration of craftsmanship, artistry, and uncompromising performance. A design that has quickly become one of the most sought-after pieces in our collection, the Redemption has already earned a loyal following among collectors, outdoorsmen, and knife enthusiasts who appreciate the rare combination of practical functionality and striking visual appeal. With twelve previous examples finding homes around the world, this latest Redemption continues that legacy while introducing a completely unique handle configuration, ensuring that this knife remains a true one-of-a-kind creation.

The defining feature of the Redemption is its elegant Persian-inspired blade profile. Sweeping curves and aggressive lines blend seamlessly to create a silhouette that is both beautiful and purposeful. Forged from premium 80CRV2 high carbon steel, the 150mm (6-inch) blade delivers exceptional toughness, outstanding edge retention, and the ability to take a razor-sharp edge. Whether used in the field, displayed as part of a collection, or passed down as a future heirloom, the Redemption is built to perform at the highest level.

At 4.5mm thick, the blade strikes an ideal balance between durability and cutting performance. The re-curved edge enhances slicing efficiency, while the robust spine provides the strength needed for demanding outdoor tasks. From camp chores and bushcraft work to hunting and general utility, the Redemption inspires confidence with every cut.

The full tang construction ensures maximum strength and reliability, though at first glance the handle appears almost seamless. The tang has been carefully reduced and fully encased within the handle materials, creating a refined appearance while retaining the rugged integrity expected from a serious working knife.

This edition features a stunning combination of dyed and stabilised Karellian Birch paired with luxurious African Blackwood. A brass and black G10 spacer separates the two timbers, creating a striking visual contrast that complements the flowing lines of the knife. Bronze pins and a Nickel Silver Corby bolt securely anchor the scales, while G-Flex marine-grade epoxy provides exceptional resistance to moisture, temperature fluctuations, and hard use. The result is a handle that feels solid, comfortable, and secure in both standard and reverse grips.

Completing the package is a handcrafted scout-carry sheath made from premium 8oz full-grain leather. Each sheath is individually hand-tooled and built to provide both protection and convenience while showcasing the same attention to detail found throughout the knife itself.

While the Redemption design will return in future builds, no two examples will ever be identical. Each handle combination is unique, making every Redemption a singular expression of functional artistry—a knife built not only to perform but also to be admired.
