Description
Midnight Gild is black resin shot through with gold, poured and cured by hand so the veining breaks differently in every handle. Against a slim satin spear point and a cream leather sheath it reads more like jewellery than hardware — which is the idea.
The spear point is symmetrical, with the tip on the centre line of the blade. It is the most precise shape we make: excellent for detail work, opening, trimming and fine slicing.

Built for: everyday carry, desk and craft work, light kitchen tasks, and collecting. It photographs beautifully, which is why most of these leave as gifts.
Care: D2 is a semi-stainless tool steel — highly rust resistant but not rust proof. Wipe the blade dry after use and oil it lightly before long storage. Resin is waterproof and will not crack or shrink — wipe it with a damp cloth; avoid solvents and abrasives, which dull the polish. Keep the white leather sheath out of prolonged wet and do not store the knife inside it for long periods.
FAQs
Is this knife only for women?
No. It is built on a smaller handle with a lighter, thinner blade, which suits smaller hands and lighter carry — a lot of people prefer that regardless. Buy it on grip size and blade length rather than on the label.
Is the white leather sheath practical?
Yes. It is full-grain leather, hand stitched and moulded to this blade. Like any pale leather it will mark and mellow with handling; most owners think that improves it. Keep it out of prolonged wet and it will last for years.
Is the blade full size and full strength?
Yes. Smaller does not mean lighter duty — same steel, same heat treatment, same hand sharpening as every other knife we make. It is a small knife, not a toy.
Why a spear point?
The tip sits on the centre line with both sides of the blade curving to meet it. That makes it very controllable for fine and detailed cutting, and stronger at the tip than a narrow needle point.
What exactly is the resin handle?
Hand-poured and cured resin, stabilised and machined in house. It is completely waterproof, will not crack, shrink or absorb moisture, and every pour sets with its own swirl and depth — so no two handles come out the same. Your knife will match the shape and build shown, but the pattern in the resin will be its own.
