STEEL FLAME x FUKUWA DESIGNS | Silver Oni Hard Warrior on Custom KillboX Leather & Metal Patch
In our first collaboration with Steel Flame, we're looking to elevate our patch making to the next level.
Derrick Obatake is a master jeweler, and his meticulously crafted pieces have captivated the EDC world for decades... we're very honored to contribute to his latest works.
In Japanese culture, "Oni" are demons or spirits, however wearing Oni as a talisman is associated with warding off evil spirits and protecting wearers from harm.
Throughout the years, Derrick has designed many "Warrior" themed pieces. Beyond the soldier aspect, warriors symbolize inner strength, courage, and the ability to triumph against all odds. They fight not only on the battlefield but also within themselves, facing challenges head-on and emerging victorious. We are all warriors.
The "Silver Oni Hard Warrior" is one of the latest designs by Derrick and Steel Flame, and is proudly displayed in sterling silver, fastened to a vibrant metal backplate, cut to honor Steel Flames signature KillboX™ design.
This project is the first time we've integrated metal into our full grain leather patches, and the result is striking. The design further incorporates deep engravings of other Japanese themes, including traditional sashiko patterns seigaiha (wave), bishamon (armour scales) and our Daisho design (samurai sword pair), and is finished with high contrast accent stitching and velcro backing.
