Hey folks, here’s a badass trio straight out of my forge!
This set is for the ones who appreciate real craftsmanship, not factory-made junk.
I hand-forged this Damascus blade the old-school way, layer by layer, using 1095 and 15N20 high-carbon steels to bring out that deep, flowing pattern you see on the blade. Every swirl in that steel has been hit by the hammer, kissed by the fire, and shaped with purpose.
The handle is built for hunters and outdoorsmen who like something that feels solid, warm, and American rugged in the hand.
Now here’s the cool part…
When I’m crafting hunting knives with premium stag horn, I always keep the good byproducts aside. From that same horn, I carved this antler-tip keychain and this hand-made stag-horn bracelet.
Nothing wasted. Everything used. That’s how real bladesmiths work.
This combo tells a story, forged steel, natural stag, and honest craftsmanship from my bench to your pocket.

If this set speaks to you, message me now. First come, first served. Once it’s gone, it’s gone.

👑💓As the day draws to a close and the stars begin to shine, I take a moment to center myself in the embrace of my heritage. For I am my mother’s daughter, and the drums of Africa still beat in my heart.
In this tranquil hour, I give thanks for the strength and wisdom of my ancestors. Their spirits surround me, offering guidance and protection. I honor their sacrifices and celebrate their triumphs, knowing that their legacy lives on through me.
May the night bring serenity to my spirit and dreams filled with purpose. May I find rest in the knowledge that I am a continuation of a powerful lineage, a testament to the resilience and grace of those who came before me.
As I prepare for rest, I call upon the courage and love of my ancestors to fill my heart. I am a reflection of their hopes and dreams, a beacon of their enduring light. With each breath, I draw in their strength and exhale gratitude.
With reverence and love, I welcome the night, confident in the knowledge that I am never alone. The spirits of my ancestors walk with me, their wisdom and strength guiding my path.👑💓

👑💓 Peace to Our Ancestors and Our Elders. May We Walk In Your Strengh, Legacy and Power, Today and Everyday 👑💓🌟✨💫

This lady is Eritrean. Eritrea has a population of 3.8 million people. Even within a population that small, you can get a diversity of appearances, some which conform to some kind of “African stereotype” and others which don’t. I have found that most stereotypes were created by people who did not know what they were talking about. Africans and non-Africans who have not taken time to learn comprehensively about Africa should refrain from over-generalising about who is African; and what African phenotypes look like. Let’s try to understand each other.

The Queen asked herself
Why be a carbon copy of someone else?
Why do the wrong they do?
If I am to do wrong...at least
Let the wrongs be of my own creation
Why listen when I'm being told who I am not
And then why comply simply because if I try
To change I hear that I am still the same...hmmm
Silence reigned
The Queen asked herself
Who am I giving ear to?
Who's company am I keeping?
Heavy sighs....self reflections....acceptance
She felt a shift in the atmosphere
A calling
She followed The Voice
in time other voices faded to nothingness
The Voice became clearer and the Queen realized
The Voice came from within and she smiled
Greatness has been inside me all along
The Queen told herself
I only needed to be still....to hear...to see
The Queen walked royally into her future
Crown On!!

Blessed Rising Queens!
