Custom Ironwood Espina

Introducing the Custom Espina Blade by Sangin Knives, a remarkable fusion of expert craftsmanship and premium materials. This blade marks a historic achievement as the first batch of custom hand-finished knives ever produced by Sangin, a brand synonymous with precision and quality. Each knife undergoes a meticulous custom hand finishing process that ensures no detail is overlooked, resulting in a product that is not only functional but also a work of art. The Espina embodies the vision of Sangin Knives: to create knives that stand out both in performance and aesthetics, setting a new standard in the world of custom blades.

Crafted from premium CPM Magnacut steel, the Custom Espina offers exceptional edge retention, corrosion resistance, and ease of sharpening—qualities that have made this steel a favorite among knife enthusiasts. The Espina features full flat ground bevels that are hard hand rubbed into a satin finish, providing not only a striking visual appeal but also optimal performance during use. The unique composition of Magnacut steel allows for a thin, agile edge, making it perfect for precision tasks while maintaining the toughness needed for rugged outdoor use. This combination of characteristics ensures that each Custom Espina blade is capable of handling any challenge you throw its way, from everyday tasks to survival scenarios.

Adding to the knife’s distinctive charm are the handle options available: a pointed checkering ironwood handle that mimics the grip of a classic wooden rifle, or a black paper micarta handle for those preferring a more contemporary touch. Both options are meticulously fastened with premium polished brass pins and are custom fitted to each blade, emphasizing the attention to detail that sets the Espina apart from factory-produced alternatives. Each blade is hand sharpened to a 600 grit finish and then polished using a leather strop, resulting in a hair-popping sharp edge. When you choose a Custom Espina, you are investing in a creation that has been given the time and care it deserves, distinguishing it from the mass production of ordinary knives.

Completing this high-end offering is the 7 oz Hermon oak leather sheath that is available in either hand-dyed black or natural tan. Crafted from premium Hermon oak saddle leather, known for its durability and luxurious feel, the sheath is carefully hand cut, stitched, and stamped to ensure maximum quality and aesthetic appeal. Not only does this sheath protect your blade, but it also enhances your overall experience with the Custom Espina. Each knife comes housed in a robust custom-fitted foam S3 case, designed to withstand impact and offer superior protection for your valuable item. The S3 case safeguards your knife from environmental factors and potential damage, making it an ideal choice for those who value their gear. When you choose the Custom Espina Blade by Sangin Knives, you are not just acquiring a knife; you are embracing the pinnacle of craftsmanship and premium quality that will serve you well for years to come.
