The Feline
Some knives catch your eye. This one looks back.
The Feline is a compact premium fixed blade built around one unforgettable detail: a pair of scrimshawed leopard eyes set into the natural giraffe-bone handle. Quiet, controlled and watchful, the knife gets its name from the expression staring back from the handle. The effect is subtle from a distance and striking up close, giving the piece real personality without turning it into a novelty.
Its N690 stainless steel blade gives the knife a practical working foundation, with strong corrosion resistance and reliable edge performance for everyday utility, camp, braai and general outdoor use. At 2.5 mm thick and heat treated to approximately 59 HRC, the blade remains slim enough for controlled cutting while still feeling substantial in the hand.
The giraffe-bone handle is backed by G10 liners and framed by polished 304 stainless steel bolsters. Each natural bone scale carries its own colour, texture and markings, while the leopard-eye scrimshaw gives The Feline its unmistakable identity. It is the detail that makes you look twice - and makes this knife difficult to forget.
A hand-stitched cow-leather sheath completes the package. At approximately 190 mm overall, The Feline is compact enough to carry easily, refined enough to collect, and practical enough to earn its place through use.
This is a knife for someone who appreciates detail - not decoration for decoration's sake, but craftsmanship that rewards a closer look. Some knives catch your eye. The Feline looks back.
