Rare Glenn Waters Knives Custom Flipping Tanto – M390 / Hand-Engraved Lava Titanium / Sterling Silver & Bronze Skulls

Product Description

An extraordinary 2023 custom Flipping Tanto by Glenn Waters Knives, combining intricate hand engraving, lava-inspired titanium textures, and sculptural skull inlays into a remarkable collectible folding knife.

The defining feature of this piece is its beautifully detailed hand-engraved titanium handle.

Inspired by the rugged appearance of volcanic lava, the handle showcases deeply textured metalwork with layered lines and an aged, weathered character. Rich bronze tones blend with dark gray and subtle blue-violet highlights, creating an almost geological appearance.

The handle incorporates carbon fiber detailing accented with 925 sterling silver and bronze skull inlays.

The contrast between the cool silver skulls and warm bronze accents adds remarkable visual depth. Each sculpted skull contributes to the knife's distinctive Gothic-inspired aesthetic.

Additional three-dimensional skull details near the end of the handle further enhance the intricate composition.

The blade is crafted from M390 steel in Glenn Waters' distinctive Flipping Tanto configuration.

Its dark metallic surface features scattered, gold-toned decorative patterns, while subtle iridescent hues add visual interest along portions of the blade.

The angular Tanto profile complements the rugged titanium handle, creating a striking balance between precise geometry and expressive metal artistry.

Weighing approximately 163 grams, this custom piece offers a substantial feel and an exceptional level of decorative detail.

Created by Glenn E. Waters in 2023, this Flipping Tanto is more than a custom folding knife — it is a collectible expression of metal craftsmanship and skull-inspired art.

Accompanied by a Glenn Waters Custom certificate of authenticity and branded storage accessories.
