Blade and handle materials

The knife uses a 3.5 inch blade forged from 1095 and 15N20 high and low carbon steel. The handle scales are exotic coloured camel bone with Damascus bolsters on both edges. A thick cow hide leather sheath is included for carry. The overall length is 8 inches with a 4 inch handle.

Upgrade from basic pocket knives

This replaces simple stainless folders that lack a high carbon Damascus blade and natural handle materials. The jump is worth it when you want a hand forged pattern welded edge hardened to 56 to 58 HRC. It also suits collectors who value the fire pattern aesthetic and bone scales.

Sustained use and care

The high carbon content means the blade can rust if stored damp or left in the leather sheath long term. Clean and oil the blade after each use to maintain the edge and prevent corrosion. The leather sheath absorbs moisture so the knife should be stored separately for extended periods.

Questions about this item

How much pocket space does the 3.5 inch blade and 4 inch handle require when folded?

The knife measures 8 inches overall when open and folds to roughly the 4 inch handle length, so it needs a pocket deep enough for that handle plus the bolster thickness.

What is the correct way to deploy the blade on this friction folder and what step do users often miss?

Hold the handle firmly, use the blade tang to swing the 3.5 inch Damascus edge out until it locks open, and ensure the bolster seats fully; skipping the full swing leaves the blade partially closed.

How should I maintain the 1095 and 15N20 Damascus blade at 56 to 58 HRC to prevent rust?

Clean and dry the blade after each use, apply a light coat of oil or wax, and never store it long-term in the leather sheath because leather absorbs moisture that causes corrosion.
