The 'Noir' features a beautiful frame in hand-forged, heat-blued 'Rolling Rock' damascus by Chad Nichols, inlaid with wood from the original Eyrie pinot noir vine (the same vine that fathered the award-winning 'South Block' pinot noir of 1975). The blade is 'Wave' damascus steel with an extra strong core in ZDP-189; the one-hand button lock and the thumb stud are set with blazing red topaz gemstones.
The Monarch is a simple design that is easy on the eye and effortless in the hand; the elegant shape of the handle on this design is a great place to showcase beautiful materials. The 'Noir' is the perfect synthesis between elegance, function, and rare exotic materials
