Bocote - this special run of dashi and sheaths (available separately) is in stunning bocote over phenolic. This exotic and resinous hardwood naturally develops with this striking black and yellow grain.

Stealth Grey- Silicon carbide is a fascinating mineral with applications ranging from semiconductors to gemstones to military stealth technology. In stealth applications, it is blended with a resin and coated onto vehicles where it forms an effective absorber of electromagnetic energy in often used radar bands. We use it to form a composite which takes on the carbide's natural stealth-gray color, hence the name. What may be less visually obvious is just how incredibly wear resistant it is, almost impossible to cut and polish. This offers great traction in the hand and makes for a rugged dashi. It also is a beautiful blank canvas just begging for custom engraving, which we offer.

Sandworm Ivory – Milky white in color and with a faint iridescence giving it the appearance of almost glowing. This material has a depth and visual texture that is impossible to photograph. While it clearly isn’t a crysknife, this material immediately struck us as a dead ringer for Frank Herber’s descriptions of sandworm ivory in Dune.

Cuttlefish – This incredible class of cephalopods possess a stunning ability to change pattern and color almost instantly, far and away more gifted than chameleons. Thus it is an appropriate name for this scalpeldashi, able to change across an unbelievable range of colors like nothing we've ever worked with before. You’re constantly doing a double take, seeing what color it is at the moment. Depending on the angle of light and observation, the color shifts from turquoise to green to gold to orange to red to purple. It is perpetually in motion and incredible to behold.

Ultramarine Blue – Almost impossibly deep rich blue hues swirled together in a way that catches the light and changes based on view angle. Simply beautiful.

Moonless Night Black - Dark yet still rich and deep, this dashi is a bit more subtle than some of our other offerings but no less beautiful. If you were looking for a contrasting pair, these are beautiful next to sandworm ivory.

Full throated dashi are an item we’ve gotten requests for since they were introduced, but it wasn’t until recently they were put into production. They are available alongside our regular dashi both as production items and custom one-offs. For those who prefer a pencil grip and want the longer handle, or simply want more to hold onto in general, these are your ticket. The longer handle also gives a lot more real estate to show off the stunning depth and texture of the materials, and also offer a much larger surface for engraving. The silicon carbide in particular is just a blank canvas, begging for embellishment from engraving to copper or brass washing.

Coastal Ice Storm - Iridescent whiteout conditions falling over a broiling ocean of metallic blues. These have some of the most intense swirls and patterns we’ve done so far.

Cosmic Wood - Knotted grain of black and copper combine a wood like richness with an exotic metallic copper depth.

Nocturnal Glow Fog - A deep nighttime blue with subtle iridescence blends into an aqua glow fog. Would pair well with an aqua GITD Dashi insert.

Cuttlefish Chips - these are similar to our cuttlefish dashi, but made with big chips of chameleon material in an optically clear base. This substantially enhances the effect. A little splash of blue rounds out the palette. This really is one of if not the craziest looking and most special dashi we’ve made to date.

Red-Purple-Blue Chameleon - especially vibrant colors, but a little subtle in their shift, there are two of these. One with more of a splash of green shift than the other. As with all chameleons, photographs don’t do justice to their dynamic and alive color palette.

Firefly - These dashi use our scarab green for their bodies, a very cool green-yellow color shift material. But, just like their beetle namesake, these fireflies have a bright green glowing abdomen. These unique dashi really are phenomenally bright and fantastically beautiful. Available in both standard and fullthroat variants.
