Built from solid 304 stainless steel, Suicide King is a fully machined ball marker developed around a deeply stepped, architectural profile, with each level forming an abstract expression of a stacked deck of cards.

The name comes from the historical nickname given to the King of Hearts, a term used for generations because of the way the sword appears to pass behind the King's head in traditional playing-card artwork.

The face is cut across multiple levels, with the skull sitting 1 mm proud of the recessed field and a series of concentric ball-machined grooves wrapping around the King. Fine machined details break up the surface, while contrasting brushed and bead-blasted finishes help define each layer of the design.

At the centre sits the King: a skull finished with an individually fitted solid brass crown inlay. Two recessed hearts are filled with translucent red resin, adding a controlled hit of colour against the stainless steel without taking away from the raw material and machining. Beneath the resin sits the King symbol, revealed and obscured as the viewing angle changes.

The reverse follows the same restrained approach, with a recessed King graphic, bead-blasted finish, individual numbering and Omen maker's mark.

Suicide King was designed from the ground up entirely in-house at Omen, from the industrial design and physical construction through to the graphic artwork, machining, finishing, inlay work and final assembly. Each piece begins as 8 mm thick 304 stainless steel bar and is individually manufactured from raw material through to the finished marker.
