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!

Let's do that Doug.
Thank you both!!!
I feel like in keeping with the IH ethos of your "favorite" rugged wear this is the ideal product.
Much like my IH wallet, this is something that I would carry on my person every single day and therefore makes sense to be at the top of my list.
My finances dictate that one of the main factors in my IH purchases is the frequency of use they will get…
Looking forwrd to updates on this (and I'm stoked that it seems like a bunch of folks are on board with this!)
