Heretic Custom Koschei, Vegas Forge Reptilian Damascus, Antiqued Copper Scales, Abalone Button, Crossbar Lock - Made in USA (BSW26-001)

A Blade Show West exclusive Koschei in Vegas Forge Reptilian Damascus, with antiqued copper scales and an abalone button.

This is not a production Koschei. Heretic built a small batch of these as a Blade Show West exclusive, with a Vegas Forge Reptilian Damascus blade over a Nitro V core, antiqued copper scales, full DLC hardware, and a rock ground DLC titanium clip. The button carries an abalone inlay. Once this batch is gone, there is no restock.

The Materials

The Reptilian pattern from Vegas Forge reads like scales, and the Nitro V core means the edge is a proven stainless steel, not just a pretty surface. The copper scales come antiqued, so they already have depth and will keep developing patina as you carry it. Abalone in the button and a rock ground clip finish it off.

The Koschei Platform

Underneath the custom work it is still the Koschei, Heretic's fastest moving knife this year. Crossbar lock, works with either hand, and an action that is hard to put down.

Why This One Stands Out

Damascus, copper, and abalone on a Koschei, made in a small run for one show. If you have been waiting for a Koschei that sits at the top of the collection, this is the one.
