About This Piece
There’s something special about Damascus steel — the way each layer folds its own story into the blade. This knife carries that heritage proudly, balanced by the polish of its man-made ivory handle and the careful handwork that brings it all together. It’s refined, but it’s ready to work — whether that’s in the hands of a collector or out in the field.
Each detail is done by hand. The nickel bolster brings a subtle gleam to the transition from blade to handle. The handle’s etched design was lasered, then hand-inked to give it depth and character. Along the spine runs a line of feathered filework — a nod to the old-world methods that give a knife both strength and beauty. Red liners tuck between steel and handle, giving just enough color to make the piece stand out without shouting for attention.

Maker’s Note
“Every line and curve is cut by hand. No two Damascus patterns ever come out the same, and that’s part of the charm — each one has its own fingerprint.”— Jeff, Bladesmith
