Seasonal Knives
Once a year, I set aside time to make more unique and artful knives. This gives me the chance to try out new original designs, expand my artistic expression, explore historical methods of use and manufacture, and learn more about specific applications my customers need in their outdoor adventures.
These pieces are designed to enhance the outdoors for my customers, including those who are already using a Swearingen Knife so for those esteemed customers already using a Swearingen Knife will receive a 10% discount on all seasonal offerings.
Mountain Cabin Set
SOLD
I designed this set of Damascus steel knives for unique outdoor experiences such as visiting the mountain cabin or other outdoor retreat, all in an effort to get away from it all; the larger chef’s knife features an amber dyed brow-tine pommel with a curly Koa spacer and is perfect for camp cooking or other heavy camp chores, while the smaller utility knife with it vintage micarta spacers and brow tine would be great for smaller fine tasks like carving or fish cleaning.
Price: $1,550 for the set (SOLD)
