Edmund Fitzgerald: 50th Anniversary Knife
$350.00 USD
Sheath and Commemorative Stand

The sheath is leather, hand-stitched along the welt, closed by a solid brass button snap that secures the blade with quiet certainty.
The stand has live-edge contours, laser-etched on the upright with the SS Edmund Fitzgerald above “NOVEMBER 10, 1975,” and on the base “50 YEARS A LEGEND 1975 - 2025.” It holds the sheathed knife between two small antler tips at a gentle angle. This set marks fifty years since the freighter vanished with all hands, turning a working knife into a registered keepsake of the day the lake claimed its own.

Handle of the Fitz: Grain That Remembers the Gales

Curly maple was chosen for the Edmund Fitzgerald Memorial Knife's handle for its striking flame like grain that dances like sunlight on Superior's restless waters and for its deep resonance with Great Lakes heritage. This wood carries the strength of the forests that once fed shipyards and docks. Though not part of the ship's construction maple's historic role in early Great Lakes vessels from keels to decking links land to lake in silent tribute. Its natural curl echoes the rolling waves of the November gale while the wood’s unyielding density and quiet beauty mirror the resolve of the 29 crewmen hard grained unbroken and forever etched in legend fifty years after they faced the storm and did not yield.
