A central spine runs down the blade, with delicate branching lines fanning outward in a pattern that shifts with every angle of light. This feather-forging style takes more skill to produce than a standard twist pattern, which is part of why collectors seek it out specifically.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe handle is built from a real pinecone stabilized in resin, capturing blue and orange-gold tones in a natural, organic texture.
