Herringbone Mokume

This one’s got rhythm. Herringbone Mokume Gane moves like flowing fabric, like wood grain caught in a storm—sharp, deliberate, and full of life. Made from 200 meticulously layered sheets of contrasting metals, it forms a bold chevron pattern that pulls your eye across the surface, revealing a texture that’s both organic and engineered. Every billet tells a different story, where the fusion of metals creates a depth you can feel.

We craft Herringbone Mokume Gane in both three-alloy and two-alloy variations:

• Three-Alloy: Copper / Brass / Nickel-Silver—rich, complex, and full of contrast.
• Two-Alloy: Copper / Brass or Copper / Nickel-Silver—each bringing its own unique warmth and depth.

Perfect for jewelry, knife fittings, or anything that deserves a touch of the extraordinary. Because some materials don’t just sit there—they move.
