1095 Damascus + Genuine Elk

Two natural-looking elements make this Branding Pen especially distinctive: the patterned Damascus blade and genuine elk handle.

The blade gives the knife an immediately recognizable handcrafted appearance, while the natural elk provides its own individual coloring, texture, shape, and markings.

Together, they create something that feels right at home in a western heirloom collection:

1095 Damascus Blade • Branding Pen Design • Genuine Elk Handle • Handmade by Mike Johnson

No assembly-line sameness. No two exactly alike.

Made to Become Somebody's Knife

A handmade knife becomes special because of the craftsman who makes it.

An heirloom becomes special because of the person who carries it.

That's what we love about these Mike Johnson knives.

Carry it to the ranch. Put it to work. Take it on the trip. Let it ride in the truck. Take care of it, but don't be afraid to let it collect a few stories.

Someday, the most important thing about this knife may no longer be that it has a 1095 Damascus blade or genuine elk handle.

It may simply be:

“This was Dad's.”

That's the kind of value that can't be manufactured.
