Handcrafted & Enduring

At York Vivant, every blade begins as raw steel and ends as an object meant to be kept. We forge, grind and finish by hand in Wazirabad, shaping Damascus and stainless steel into hunting knives, chef knives, swords and axes. Each piece carries a pattern that exists only once, and passes three stages of inspection before it leaves the workshop.

Camp Axe, Ash Handle.

The head is forged from D2 tool steel and hand-ground for a durable, resharpenable edge suited to splitting and general camp work.
