Jack Rellstab/NWKW | San Mai Elk Antler 6pc Steak Knife Set

Jack Rellstab/NWKW | San Mai Elk Antler 6pc Steak Knife Set

Somewhere in the Wyoming high country, an elk shed this antler. Jack Rellstab found a use for it. Six steak knives, each with a sanmai steel blade — a high-carbon core forge-welded inside a stainless jacket — and a handle lapped flat on granite and pinned by hand. The kind of set that earns a permanent place at the table and a story every time someone picks one up.

Description

There is no second set.

Jack Rellstab started making knives at 12. He walked into our Jackson store with a few blades on consignment. We hired him on the spot. Today he's our in-house Journeyman Smith — and this 6-piece steak knife set is his latest work.

The blades are sanmai steel. Three layers, forge-welded together: a high-carbon 1084 core wrapped in a stainless jacket. The kind of construction that holds a serious edge and wears its history in the grain. Each blade was profiled from a brass template — because when you're making a matched set, every knife has to answer to the others.

The handles are Rocky Mountain elk antler. Naturally shed, sourced from the high country, and worked by hand from there. Each scale was ripped on a band saw, lapped flat on a granite block, epoxied onto the tang, and pinned. No two are identical. The grain, the color, the character — all of it comes from the animal and the mountain it lived on. That's not something you can spec out of a catalog.

Six knives. One set. They leave together.
