The Skeleton Key returns as a limited edition collaboration with Ty Kirsch of Chute Yea Designs, whose meticulous anodizing work has earned a dedicated following in the EDC community.
This edition is available in two distinct variations:
-
"90s Fade": A bronze-to-blue gradient, named by Lucas Burnley.
-
"Ode to BDB": A purple-to-green gradient, a personal favorite of John Brown of Scoopyloops.
Kirsch approaches titanium with the mindset of both craftsman and scientist, relying on precision, patience, and clean process over expensive equipment. Every piece begins with careful prep and is handled only with gloves from start to finish to preserve the purity of the surface and the integrity of the color.
Working from his home garage, Kirsch uses simple tools, sharp discipline, and a deep understanding of the chemistry behind anodizing to create vivid, one-of-a-kind finishes. Each pattern is layered by hand, never laser cut, producing controlled results born from repetition and refined technique rather than automation.
Milled from solid Grade 5 titanium, the Skeleton Key is a precision-built companion to your everyday knife, ready for the cutting, prying, and turning tasks that shouldn’t fall to your blade. Its flat edge can open boxes, the pry tip and driver handle daily utility, and the integrated E-key and bottle opener add versatility to pocket or keychain carry. The Skeleton Key was built to supplement your capabilities in any situation. Each anodized S Key carries its own fingerprint of process and material.
