This hand-forged knife features a blade made from 80CRV2 steel, meticulously shaped and carefully sharpened to ensure superior performance, precision, and long-lasting durability. The handle is constructed from reclaimed wood sourced from the historic Battleship USS New Jersey BB-62, one of the most decorated battleships in U.S. naval history.

Commissioned in 1943, the USS New Jersey played a critical role across multiple conflicts, including World War II, the Korean War, the Vietnam War, and the Lebanese Civil War. It earned an impressive 11 battle stars in World War II alone and a total of 19 battle stars throughout its service, reflecting its extensive combat involvement. The battleship was known for its powerful 16-inch guns and served as a symbol of American naval strength for decades.

After being decommissioned multiple times, the USS New Jersey was preserved as a museum ship, allowing future generations to connect with its storied past. The wood used in this knife’s handle comes from parts of the ship that have weathered time and history, carrying with it the battles, voyages, and legacy of this iconic vessel.

The wood’s natural grain patterns and aged patina provide an authentic, rugged, and timeless aesthetic, while the thoughtfully designed ergonomic shape ensures a comfortable, secure grip during use. This knife seamlessly blends reliable functionality with a meaningful piece of American maritime heritage, making it a distinctive and prized addition for collectors, history enthusiasts, and knife aficionados alike.
