WE Knife Essential Knight (WE24003-3) Designed by Jason Knight - New - TS Custom
$409.00
***This knife was customized by the site owner, TS Custom. The titanium handle was given a high-brushed finished, and electronically anodized blue with purple highlights. The screws and hardware were given a high polish, and anodized green. The blade was deep pattern-etched, to create a Damascus effect with hamon, then polished, and bronzed. This knife operates very smoothly and feels great in-hand. A true one-of-one. Base retail for this model is $298 ***
