Overview

Every now and then, a handle comes through our workshop that genuinely stops us in our tracks—and this forged carbon resin piece is one of them. Crafted from a single block in true mono-construction style, it has that unmistakable solidity and balance you only get from a unified build. The forged carbon layers create a gorgeous, smoky marbled pattern, and when the light hits just right, the hand-laid gold foil flickers like embers in a fire. It’s subtle, refined, and irresistibly modern.

We’ve finished it with a centre-set mosaic pin, a small detail that ties the whole piece together and adds that touch of craftsmanship we love here at Knives and Stones. In the hand, it feels smooth, confident, and incredibly comfortable—ready to elevate any premium blade you decide to pair it with.

Handle Materials

Material	Forged Carbon Fibre Resin View Media
Colour	Black, Gold
Description	Forged carbon fibre is a composite material made from short strands of carbon fiber mixed with a high-strength resin matrix. The mixture is placed into a mold and compressed under high pressure, which creates a dense, strong, and unique-looking material with a marbled, swirled pattern. It's often used when complex shapes are needed, as the randomly oriented fibers provide uniform strength in all direction.
Pros	Modern material Excellent look
Cons	Difficult to manufacture
