Elk Jaw Knife

Few objects feel as noble in the hand as this commanding Elk Jaw Obsidian Knife. The handle is formed from a single, responsibly sourced elk jawbone, meticulously polished until it gleams a brilliant, ivory-white while preserving the animal’s original teeth—an elegant reminder of the majestic creature it once was. The broad, curved bone rests perfectly in the palm, its natural strength and graceful lines speaking of high-country ridges and echoing bugles.

Rising from this extraordinary handle is a hand-knapped volcanic obsidian blade, black as midnight and sharp enough to part a whisper. The union is secured with supple buckskin leather lacing, creating a seamless flow from polished bone to gleaming glass. At over 12 inches in length, this is a statement piece—bold, balanced, and breathtaking.

Every knife is one-of-a-kind, carrying the unique character of the elk it honors. A masterpiece of form and function, it is destined for display, collection, or ceremonial reverence—an enduring tribute to the monarch of the mountains.
