The Corbett

There are names in hunting history that carry weight. Jim Corbett is one of them. A man who walked alone into dense jungle, tracking man-eaters that had outwitted entire regions. Calm under pressure. Precise. Resolute.

 

The Corbett knife draws inspiration from that same spirit — long, lean, purposeful, and quietly formidable. Its flowing lines give it an almost feline grace, but beneath that elegance lies strength. Should you ever find yourself with no rifle to rely upon, this is the blade you would want in your hand — balanced, decisive, uncompromising.

 

Crafted from Böhler M390 stainless steel, one of the finest powder metallurgy steels available, the Corbett offers exceptional edge retention, excellent corrosion resistance and a superb finish. It is a steel trusted for serious performance.

 

The spine features detailed filework, while a nickel silver finger guard provides strength and elegance. An intricate mosaic pin adds a distinctive focal point, complementing the exotic character of the piece. The front spacer is stabilised Mammoth tusk, paired with a handle of stabilised Karelian Birch — a striking combination of history and natural beauty.

 

Stabilisation involves impregnating the material with specialist resin under pressure before curing. This process strengthens the wood or ivory, enhances durability, and greatly reduces the risk of warping or cracking, while providing excellent resistance to the elements.

 

The knife is supplied with a fitted leather sheath, lined with chamois leather and finished with hand stitching and traditional tooling.

 

The Corbett is not simply a knife.
It is a nod to another era — to courage, self-reliance and quiet determination.

An heirloom in the making.
