Damascus Steel Folding Knife with Blue Camel Bone Handle & Sheath, 191mm (7.5")
A compact and robust folding knife, hand-forged from a 512-layer billet of 1075 and 4340 steels. The resulting Damascus blade exhibits a distinct 'fire' pattern and is hardened to 55-58 HRC, providing a balance of toughness and reliable edge retention.
The handle is crafted from polished and dyed blue camel bone, offering a comfortable and secure grip. It is complemented by intricately engraved Damascus steel bolsters that match the blade. The knife folds to a compact 102mm (4 inches) and is supplied with a durable leather sheath for protection.
Ideal for general workshop utility, detailed cutting tasks, or as a dependable tool for hobbyists and makers.

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.
