I was sent a batch of absolutely stunning \u003cstrong\u003eGreen Sheen Obsidian\u003c\/strong\u003e from Oregon, USA — a deep, dark green glass laced with silver streaks that catch the light in a way that’s hard to ignore. The moment I saw it, I knew it deserved something special. I began working it into a series of Iceman-style daggers, and while the material proved challenging, it rewarded patience. Every finished piece had a presence to it. It was this very obsidian that sparked the idea for the Trinity Series.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"633\" data-start=\"547\"\u003eThe set is built around three core pieces, along with a final, more personal addition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"1062\" data-start=\"635\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-end=\"654\" data-start=\"635\"\u003eSignature Knife\u003c\/strong\u003e — The centrepiece of the collection. A striking 6\" \u003cstrong\u003eGreen Sheen Obsidian\u003c\/strong\u003e blade, carefully shaped and set into a custom handle made from \u003cstrong\u003eCornish Oak\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eIndian Rosewood\u003c\/strong\u003e, and finished with a \u003cstrong\u003eMoroccan Burr\u003c\/strong\u003e tip. Traditional hafting methods have been used throughout — pine pitch glue, artificial sinew, and hide glue — giving it both authenticity and character. It stands comfortably on its own as a complete piece.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"1449\" data-start=\"1064\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-end=\"1081\" data-start=\"1064\"\u003eIceman Dagger\u003c\/strong\u003e — Smaller in size, but no less captivating. This piece really allows the silver sheen within the obsidian to come alive, shifting subtly as it catches the light. It’s hafted in \u003cstrong\u003eIndian Rosewood\u003c\/strong\u003e and tipped with \u003cstrong\u003eMoroccan Burr,\u003c\/strong\u003e using pine pitch to secure the blade.

Simple, clean, and honest in form, it highlights the natural beauty of the Green Sheen Obsidian in its purest expression.
