8-Inch Tanto Folding Knife

This Damascus steel folding knife measures 8 inches overall with a 3.5-inch tanto blade and a camel bone handle. A liner lock and thumb pin provide secure one-hand operation. A cowhide leather sheath is included for belt carry. The twist-pattern blade is hand-forged from high-carbon steel.

Suitable Users and Limitations

Collectors and outdoor users who value natural handle materials and a traditional locking folder will appreciate the bone scales and twist Damascus pattern. Buyers who need a lighter everyday-carry folder or a knife without high-carbon maintenance should look elsewhere. The leather sheath is not intended for long-term storage.

Deciding Specification: High-Carbon Damascus Blade

The blade is forged from high-carbon Damascus steel that can rust if not cleaned and oiled after each use. WD-40 can remove surface rust should it appear. Never store the knife for extended periods in the leather sheath because absorbed moisture accelerates corrosion. This care requirement is the single factor that determines suitability.

Questions about this item

Does this folding knife arrive ready to carry, or do I need to supply my own sheath?

The knife includes a cow-hide leather sheath so you can carry it straight from the box.

Will the 3.5-inch Damascus blade and liner lock operate smoothly if I keep using my older pocket knives alongside it?

The thumb pin opens the 3.5-inch blade one-handed and the liner lock secures it independently of any other knives you own.

After opening the knife with the thumb pin, how can I confirm the liner lock is fully engaged?

When the blade is fully deployed you will feel a solid click and the lock bar sits flush against the tang, preventing the blade from folding until you push the liner aside.
