Christmas Availability Notice:

American Elk Axioms have been in extremely high demand this season. We’re building and posting as many as we can before Christmas, and new inventory will be added to this page as each knife is finished. If they sell out, please check back often. If this listing remains live, it means more are on the way. Once the listing is removed, we’ve officially wrapped up this run for the year.

SMITH & SONS CUSTOM SHOP – AMERICAN ELK ANTLER

This listing is for one Axiom from a Custom Shop run featuring American Elk Antler scales, each specially crafted with premium materials and built in-house by our knifemakers.

This piece features hand-cut and shaped American Elk Antler scales, inset slightly (just like our standard scales) to allow the Blackout Forced Patina to wrap continuously around the entire spine. Each handle is shaped individually by hand, giving every knife its own unique texture, grain, and natural variation. 

Each knife in this batch is individually finished, unique, and produced in very low quantities, built to the same high standards of fit, finish, and craftsmanship that define our Custom Shop. The knife pictured may not be the exact one you receive; however, it will match the listed configuration and meet the same high standards of fit and finish.

Important Notes:

Natural Variation:

Because Elk Antler is a natural material, no two knives will look exactly alike. Your knife’s scales will be similar to those pictured, but the natural patterns and coloration ensure each piece is truly one of a kind. Please review the 2nd photo in the image carousel to get a sense of the natural variation found within each batch of scales. These examples show a sampling of the wide range of color, texture, and natural asymmetry you can expect.

Handle Care:

Elk Antler is sturdy and durable but, like all organic materials, benefits from minimal care. Avoid prolonged exposure to extreme heat, direct sunlight, or moisture (for example, leaving your knife in a hot or humid vehicle). A little care goes a long way toward keeping your handle looking beautiful for years to come.

Blackout Forced Patina:

This finish isn’t a coating, it’s a controlled patina process that develops its own look over time. Expect shifts in tone as you use the knife, giving each blade its own distinct personality.

Sheath Compatibility:

Due to the natural variation in shape and texture, Elk Antler handles are not compatible with our Kydex sheaths. Leather sheath options are recommended for the best fit and finish.

Features:

• Steel: CPM Magnacut – premium, tough, and corrosion-resistant

• Scales: Handcrafted American Elk Antler – inset-fit, hand-shaped, and naturally unique

• Blade Finish: Blackout Forced Patina – evolves with use, making each blade distinct

Customize Your Carry:

Sheath Options:

- Standard Vertical Leather: a classic, no-nonsense carry style.

-Leather Pocket Carry Sheath: A clean, low-profile carry option designed specifically for the Brave. This sheath is crafted from premium leather and features a sturdy pocket clip, allowing you to carry your Brave securely inside your front pocket, much like a folding knife, but with the confidence of a fixed blade. Slim, functional, and comfortable to wear, it’s perfect for those who want to keep their knife accessible without taking up belt space.

-Multi-Sheath Discounts: Choose additional sheath packages and save when bundling.
