Heretic Knives Custom Koschei Prototype, Hand Ground High Polish M390 Blade, Carbon Fiber Chassis S/N 023

Koschei, known as "the deathless" or "the Immortal", is a major, malevolent sorcerer in Slavic folklore. Depicted as an emaciated, skeletal old man, with a withered appearance. His tale tells of him hiding "his death" in nested items (like a needle that's in an egg that's in a duck that's in a chest that's buried) and always being a malevolent rival figure, who competes for (or entraps) a male hero's love-interest.

The Koschei is a brand new offering from Heretic Knives. It features a crossbar lock and scales that can be taken off without removing the pivot. The wrap around backspacer is what sets this one apart from the rest and is absolutely gorgeous! This custom model features carbon fiber handle scales. Hand ground high polish M390 blade. Fresh from Bladeshow Texas 2026, and marked prototype with only 23 made. Brand new in box.
