“We do not take from the earth or the animal; we are given. Every blade we shape is our prayer returned— for the obsidian that cooled in fire, for the elk who carried his crown through winter, for the wolf who sang before he crossed over. Nothing is wasted, nothing is forgotten, and every knife leaves our hands carrying their spirit forward so the circle stays whole.”
— Great Basin Knife Company
There is something undeniably alive about the Coyote Jaw Obsidian Knife, a blade that seems to carry the trickster’s own sly grin. Crafted from a responsibly sourced coyote jawbone, the handle retains its natural lightness, subtle curve, and sharp, petite teeth, a nod to the cunning survivor of plain and desert alike. Small in stature yet immense in character, it feels almost weightless until the moment its volcanic obsidian blade catches the light, black, brilliant, and wickedly keen.
Bound with traditional sinew, the marriage of bone and glass is flawless, ancient, unbreakable. At 6–8 inches overall, each knife is unmistakably one-of-a-kind, echoing the singular spirit of the coyote it honors: resourceful, resilient, and forever just out of reach.
A mesmerizing centerpiece for any collection, altar, or display case, this is more than a knife; it is a whispered songline to the wild intelligence that still dances at the edge of the firelight.
