Night Watch Knives Sojourn Alex Harrison War Wash Tapered Tang Brass Guard Cust
Handcrafted Alex Harrison Night Watch Knives "Sojourn" Custom Fixed Blade - Signature "War Wash" Finish - Precision Tapered Full Tang - Soldered Brass Single Guard - Natural Linen Micarta & Black Liners - Custom Leather Sheath - 8 Overall - Made in USA. Widely recognized as one of Harrison's most refined sporting models, the Sojourn spans 8" overall with an agile 3-3/4" blade. The blade is executed with a dramatic, freehand high hollow grind taken down to an ultra-thin, low-drag slicing edge. It features Night Watch Knives' proprietary "War Wash" finish -a multi-stage deep chemical etch that creates a rich, dark topographical surface texture that is integral to the steel itself and will never peel, flake, or wear away like a superficial coating. The knife showcases master-grade custom construction. Soldered Brass Guard: A precision-fitted 1/4 solid brass single-quillion guard, silver-soldered clean to the blade shoulders to seal out fluids and moisture. Precision Tapered Tang: Expertly hand-tapered along the tang toward the pommel, dropping weight and positioning the center of balance directly at the guard for a weightless, lively feel in hand. Natural Linen Micarta: Classic natural/vintage linen micarta scales backed by black accent liners, mechanically anchored with a 1/4" solid brass pin and a 1/4" brass lined lanyard tube.
Accompanied by its fitted custom leather sheath with secure retention. Model Highlights & Custom Specifications. Freehand Guild Craftsmanship: Freehand-ground without jigs or CAD by Knifemakers' Guild voting member Alex Harrison.
Signature "War Wash" Finish: Highly textured, durable chemical finish providing non-reflective glare resistance and corrosion protection. High Hollow Grind: Aggressive hollow bevels creating a thin, acute cutting geometry for effortless push cuts, food prep, and game processing. Hand-Tapered Tang Dynamics: Drastically reduces handle mass and optimizes balance right behind the ricasso.
Soldered Joint Integrity: Solid brass guard fitted and soldered tight to eliminate gaps or voids. Complete Carry Rig: Includes fitted leather sheath ready for belt carry or collection display.
Blade Steel & Edge: Pristine cutting edge with an intact, acute tip and clean grinds. The War Wash finish is crisp, rich, and uniform with zero active rust or damage. Guard & Solder Line: The brass single guard is tight and rigid with a clean, flush solder seam against the blade shoulders. Handle & Tapered Tang: The natural linen micarta scales and black liners are seated completely flush to the tapered steel tang with zero gaps or voids.
Brass hardware is flush-ground, and also sports the same black liner under the foot of the guard. Sheath: The custom leather sheath is supple, and structurally sound with intact stitching and secure retention. There are honest marks of storage and carry in the leather, but this sheath still retains is function and structure.
