The Corsair is as versatile and vicious as the seaborn marauders it is named after. The elegant curve of the profile lends itself perfectly to controlled, deep slices.

My blades have soul to them, They are entirely hand crafted, and unique. You won't be able to match the quality, performance and passion of these knives with anything store bought. They are heirloom quality, extremely effective tools.
The blade is differentially quenched and tempered 80CRV2 high carbon steel. Which is to say, the spine is soft, flexible and durable, the edge is extremely hard. The result of this heat treating method is that you have a springy blade with a killer edge that will last through a long period of use.
The Handle is carefully sculpted to comfortably fit the curves and complexities of the human hand, carved for extra grip and style. I've sculpted 1,500+ handles over my career so far, and have gotten the ergonomics down to a refined art.
I harden my knives using a computer controlled kiln. Using this tool allows me to get maximum edge retention out of a given piece/type of steel.
This one has a finger well above the guard to aid in various grips, and provide extra easeful sharpening.
It’s acid etched with neural/root/mycelial designs.
Each blade I sell has a my lifetime warranty, covering reasonable uses. With proper care, one of my blades could last multiple generations.
Victory through fire and steel!
