Twist Mokume Gane – Layered Metal for Distinctive Custom Work

Give your next project a pattern that moves.

Twist Mokume Gane from Vegas Forge features sweeping, spiraling layers that create fluid lines and striking contrast across the metal. The twisted pattern gives knife fittings, jewelry, and custom accessories a distinctive, handcrafted character.

Our Twist Mokume is made with approximately 200 layers of non-ferrous metals.

Alloy Combinations

We primarily make Twist Mokume with a three-metal combination of copper, brass, and nickel-silver.

We also make this pattern in these two-metal combinations:

  • Copper / Nickel-Silver
  • Copper / Brass
  • Brass / Nickel-Silver
  • Bronze / Nickel-Silver

Alloy combinations and colors vary by billet. Not every combination is in stock at all times. Check the individual billet's listed alloy combination before ordering.

Popular Applications

  • Custom knife bolsters, guards, pommels, and handle accents

  • Rings, pendants, and other handcrafted jewelry

  • Premium EDC accessories and decorative hardware

  • Artistic metalworking and one-of-a-kind projects
