The world has enoughblack tactical blades.

The one we can't shut up about · 2026

Obsidian

The steel took a color I couldn't repeat if I tried — and I tried. So this is the only Obsidian there will ever be. The handle's shaped to catch light like oil on water, because black would've been the boring choice.

The pretty ones

Look at these.

No specs. No sales pitch. Just the knives, shot properly. Stare as long as you like.

The whole idea

The world doesn't need another black tactical blade. So I stopped making them.

I work alone, and I make knives you can spot from across a room. Color where everyone else went black. Shapes you'll recognise before you read the name.

Nothing gets made in batches. No two come out the same. If that sounds inefficient, you're starting to get it.

The inside track

There's no 'Add to Cart'. That's the point.

You can't buy your way in from a checkout button. New work drops small and fast, and the list hears first. Get on it, or don't — but don't say nobody told you.
