Pocketknives/Kitchen Knives/Fixed Blades
-
I have a mini griptilian. I've almost never had it in my person since it's very thick and I don't like to keep it in my pocket. The blade is very good and the opening/locking mechanism is maybe the best I've used. It's about three times as thick as Chive (edit).
EDIT: Not Chive but Scallion!
EDIT EDIT: I'm obviously a bit confused. It is indeed Chive, they're very much alike…
I just noticed that this guy sells custom scales to Mini Grips (among others):
Custom Scale DivisionVintage micarta scales on a mini griptilian. I can see the possibilities…
Oh no, why did I follow the link to Custom Scale Division!!!!!
I see wooden spyderco UKPK scales in my future…

Sterling silver won't have the tension to hold a knife in your pocket. It'll bend too easily
Chris Reeve doesn't do collabs with two exceptions, and those two are very special exceptions: Harsey and G&G Hawk
That being said, I can arrange to have the IronHeart logo engraved into a Sebenza handle, but we're looking at about $450-500 for a large sebenza, $400-450 for a small, and money would have to come up front because I don't have that kind of money to float
I actually came up with the idea for a special run of IH knives a year or two ago, but Giles and I never followed through with it
I'll pitch it at Giles again and see what he thinks

That Sebenza looks great, but I think I'd have to pass on something that expensive that I couldn't use as EDC in the UK. Good luck though, it looks smashing!

Sebenzas used to be semi custom, they had their bevels ground by hand up until a few years ago. They're currently CNC manufactured completely and hand fitted. A careful eye can see where the CNC left it's marks on the bevels
I already have someone in mind
The knife will be specific to IH, not an existing design with a logo on it.
