This Hand Forged knife by artist Kaleb Schad has a beautiful Kawakawa Pounamu & Rhodonite handle, fixed with brass rivets to full-tang blade and carried in a handcrafted leather sheath with a belt loop. The gorgeous colour of the Rhodonite, joined perfectly to the stunning Kawakawa Greenstone on the handle, is a wonderful combination of colour and tone in a knife that is sharp and ready to use.
Knife Handle - Kawakawa&Rhodonite
Kawakawa- is the most common variety of Pounamu. It comes in many shades - from strong, rich green to dark green - and often has small dark flecks, which add to its character. Named after the leaf of the Kawakawa. It is the main type used for gem purposes.
Rhodonite- a wonderful pink coloured manganese silicate mineral found South of Akatore Creek, Otago. This mineral has long been sort after by rockhounds and others for carving & jewellery making. A powerful healing stone for relationships, the Rhodonite crystal encourages clear communication, the lifeline for a strong and healthy union. Its energy opens the heart up to emotional healing.
