Custom 071411

This beautiful one-of-a-kind features a finely hand-engraved handle by Lee Griffiths, inlaid with a piece of 100,000 year-old fossil coral. The engraving remembers the famous commando frogman unit of the Italian Royal Navy. The blade is hand-forged 'Hornets Nest by Mike Norris; the one-hand button lock and the thumb stud are set with spinels. The Monarch is a simple design that is easy on the eye and effortless in the hand; the elegant shape of the handle on this design is also an ideal canvas to showcase fine hand-engraving or exotic materials. This unique piece features a rich and unique balance between elegance, function, and superlative artistry.
