Pocketknives/Kitchen Knives/Fixed Blades

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.

I like the stew your cooking here Doug, I like it a lot! BTW, just today I received a large sebenza. I get it now. Thanks IH forum.

Doug, have you seen anything from Shing Crafts? I don't have one, but the guys on the British blades forum rave about his stuff. He's vey good by all accounts, and it's all bespoke stuff, high end materials etc. Perhaps a possible source for an IH forum knife.

Update - ignore me, just read your post above saying you had someone in mind, I must have skipped a page of posts!
Sounds exciting though!
