| Good things to hold in your hand, carry on your person, admire and or collect, that have a cutting edge. |
| Gemstones, both precious and semi precious hold as much mysticism and beauty as a finely crafted hand forged weapon. In concert these elements incorporated together enhance the virtue and value each alone hold. Whether it be a Black Nephrite Jade inlay handle set in sterling silver or nickel, a fine tourmaline or emeralds set in yellow gold along a guard, Turquoise embellishments with pure silver wire wrapped handle, or moonstone cabochon eyes in a snakes head pommel, along with these aspects add in a hand forged Damascus or tool steel blade, and it is something that becomes especially unique and desirable, a treasure to hold in high value. |

| The elements such as iron carbon vanadium chromium silicon beryllium manganese, along with the many other material traces that come together to form the steel alloys in the metals of knives, so too do these constitute the elements that come together in nature we know as gemstones. Heat, time and pressure are the processes needed for the creation of all of these beautiful things in their rough natural state. Through the hand and mind of the craftsman it seems appropriate to bring them together in one form, something that is all at once a tool, a weapon, art, artifact, keepsake, an item of great personal value to it's owner. |
