Make: Burn Knives
Model: Hammerhead
Blade: Mike Norris San Mai Damascus



The Hammerhead series from BURN knives pursues a more traditional take on a coffin handle dagger design, featuring a large and wide hilt style bolster at the front-with heavy wasp body hips at the center of the handle. The slender button keeps itself subdued sitting quietly in this build as to not distract from the overall form.



This Hammerhead has a 360 Brass chassis with Blue Juma Snakeskin scales and hollow ground dagger blade made from Mike Norris San Mai Damascus. The firing button is also a wonderfully machined damascus.

Paul Panak's work has evolved over the years from just building knives to building high end automatic bladed concept pieces. Each new knife from paul reaching even further than the last, his out the fronts are without a doubt the most interesting on the market. BURN's refusal of the standard and boring is a gift to the otherwise mundane world of knives, otfs the seemingly have been forged from the books of sci-fi novels or pulled from the screen. The ornate use of inlays and intense structural work that pushes the realm of comfort into pure aesthetic, these knives will float to the top of any display case above all the angular bricks and frame lock flippers.
