Brass pins secure the handle scales, adding durability and a classic accent that complements the blade’s finish.

To support safe carry and storage, the knife includes a leather sheath designed to protect the blade and maintain its edge. The sheath complements the knife’s bold styling while keeping it secure and accessible. Whether carried, stored, or displayed, the sheath adds practicality without detracting from the knife’s overall presentation.
