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.
