Benchmade Redoubt 430 maple handle scales - Eden Dark / hand-painted

Style features

The Garden of Eden, described in the Book of Genesis, is humanity’s original paradise. Located “in the East,” many scholars place it near the Tigris and Euphrates rivers in ancient Mesopotamia (modern Iraq). Adam and Eve lived in perfect harmony until they ate the forbidden fruit from the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil. This single act introduced original sin and led to their expulsion by God. The Bible also mentions the Tree of Life, whose fruit granted immortality. Interestingly, the word “Eden” comes from Hebrew meaning “delight” or “pleasure.” The story has inspired countless artworks, literature, and even modern searches for a real historical location. From ancient myths to today’s culture, Eden remains a powerful symbol of lost innocence and human curiosity

Why wood, not G10 or micarta?

Wood offers greater comfort, warmth, and aesthetic satisfaction. Wood is lighter and more pleasant to hold. Wooden scales are best suited for customization and hand finishing. Or perhaps made from G10 and micarta. Why not?
