Tradition meets the wild in the Copper Shogun, a handcrafted blade that brings together Japanese-inspired styling and unmistakable Ogre's Forge character.
The knife begins with a 4-inch tanto-style blade, hand forged from 1075 high-carbon steel and finished in a rugged matte finish. The angular tanto profile gives the blade its bold, distinctive silhouette, while a solid copper guard adds warmth and contrast against the dark steel.
The handle is where this piece truly comes alive. Genuine whitetail antler is paired with black acrylic and copper accents, blending natural texture with rich, modern materials. An Edo-style wrap completes the handle, adding another layer of visual detail and Japanese influence while creating a distinctive grip.
The mix of matte steel, aged-looking antler, deep black, and warm copper gives the Copper Shogun a look that feels both refined and untamed—as if two very different traditions met at the forge and decided they belonged together.
A custom handcrafted leather pouch-style sheath completes the knife, providing a classic and practical way to protect and carry the blade.
