  • Sale
  • Regular price £119.00


The Northern Matriarch is a striking handcrafted knife inspired by the strength and unity found in the northern wilderness. Built around a durable satin-finished D2 tool steel blade, this knife combines dependable outdoor performance with artistic wildlife engraving. The handle showcases a beautifully detailed bear family scene, making the knife both a practical field companion and a distinctive collector’s piece.

Handle:
The handle is crafted from deeply engraved bull horn, displaying rich natural tones that transition from dark charcoal to lighter smoky shades across the surface. The engraving depicts a mother bear leading her cubs forward through the wilderness, forming a powerful composition that symbolizes protection, leadership, and family in the wild. Fine engraved lines create detailed fur textures and subtle ground elements, giving depth and movement to the scene as it follows the natural curvature of the handle. The polished pins and lanyard hole provide secure construction while complementing the organic tones of the bull horn. The ergonomic contour of the handle offers a comfortable, balanced grip suitable for extended outdoor use.

Sheath:
The knife is paired with a handcrafted brown leather sheath designed for durability and secure carry. We can do the engraving on the sheath as well.  Reinforced edge stitching strengthens the sheath while maintaining a rugged outdoor aesthetic, and the belt carry design ensures the knife remains secure during field use.
