Aaron Frederick 1084 Forced Patina Black G10 Persian-Inspired Custom Fixed Blade Knife (4.06")

Aaron Frederick 1084 Forced Patina Fixed Blade gives the Persian-inspired profile a rugged working finish, with black G10 scales, full tang construction, and a black leather sheath.

• 1084 Forced Patina Blade — The 4.06" Persian-inspired blade is made from resilient 1084 steel with a forced patina finish. It gives the knife a worn-in working look and adds a bit of surface protection to the carbon steel.

• Full Tang Persian-Inspired Build — Measuring 8.37" overall, this fixed blade has a slim, upswept profile with plenty of usable edge. Full tang construction gives the knife a solid feel from blade to handle.
• Black Leather Sheath — Includes a black handmade leather sheath with a traditional belt loop for straightforward carry, storage, or transport. The Trash Panda blade mark adds a fun twist to Aaron Frederick’s usual maker mark.
