Damascus Steel Folding Knife, 86mm Fire-Pattern Blade, with Green Camel Bone Handle and Sheath
A compact and robust folding knife, hand-forged with a distinctive fire-pattern Damascus steel blade. The handle is crafted from polished green camel bone, complemented by an intricately engraved steel bolster, providing a secure and comfortable grip.
The 86mm blade is constructed from 512 layers of 4340 stainless and 1075 high carbon steels, achieving a hardness of 55-58 HRC. This combination ensures excellent edge retention and resilience. The knife is supplied with a durable leather sheath to protect the blade and handle when not in use.
Ideal for general workshop duties, precision cutting for craft projects, or as a reliable utility tool for makers and technicians.

Before you order
Age 18+ only. By placing this order you confirm you are 18 or over. The courier will request photo ID at delivery and return the parcel if no eligible adult is available.
Carrying in public. Under section 139 of the Criminal Justice Act 1988 (with equivalents in Scotland and Northern Ireland), it is an offence to have any bladed or sharply pointed article in a public place without good reason or lawful authority. Carry your purchase only when transporting it directly to and from a workplace, workshop, fieldcraft course, hunting estate, or other lawful use.
Use. This is a sharp working tool, not a weapon. Cut away from the body, keep fingers behind the edge, sheathe before storing, and keep out of reach of children.
Care. Wipe dry after every use and apply a thin film of mineral or camellia oil to prevent rust — high-carbon and Damascus steels will spot or patina if left damp.
