A 1-of-1 Build: The Most “Bedazzled” Cypress V3?
This Robjohnsons Cypress V3 represents the absolute zenith of the V3 platform. Acquired Direct from Maker at Blade Show Texas 2026, this specific “Full Dress” build is widely considered the most visually striking and “bedazzled” specimen available on the market today. It is a masterclass in modern custom knifemaking, blending rare materials with intricate geometric milling.
Premium Metallurgy and Exotic Materials
The blade features FF Copper Elmax Core Damascus, providing a breathtaking contrast between the high-performance Elmax core and the warm copper layers. This elite blade is paired with Polished Timascus scales featuring a complex, precision-milled 3D Cubes pattern. This pattern creates a holographic depth that shifts vibrantly as it catches the light, making it a true centerpiece for any world-class collection.
Elite Technical Execution

-
Featherweight Luxury: Despite its full-dress materials, the knife maintains an incredibly light weight of just 2.55oz (71g), offering a superior power-to-weight ratio.

Full Timascus Furniture: The aesthetic is completed by a matching Timascus pocket clip and backspacer, accented by high-polish Gold Titanium hardware.
The Robjohnsons Heritage
Handcrafted in Latvia by Nicolas, Robjohnsons is named after his great-grandfather Robert and his grandfather John—both master blacksmiths. Every knife is hand-finished in their Northern European shop, ensuring that four generations of craftsmanship are felt in every flip of the blade.
