Damascus Steel Folding Utility Knife with Green Micarta Handle and Leather Sheath
A robust folding knife crafted for general workshop and utility use. The blade is hand-forged from 512 layers of 4340 stainless and 1075 high carbon steel, creating the distinctive Damascus pattern while providing a durable edge hardened to 55-58 HRC.
The handle is constructed from resilient green Micarta, complemented by solid brass bolsters that add weight and balance. At 9.1 inches (231mm) when fully opened, this knife offers substantial reach and control for a folding design. It includes a custom-fitted leather sheath to protect the blade and allow for safe carrying.
Suitable for a range of tasks including cutting cordage, trimming materials in model engineering, or as a reliable utility tool for general repairs and maintenance.

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.
Shipping. UK addresses only. Signature and photo ID required at delivery. We cannot ship to PO Boxes, parcel lockers, or addresses outside the UK.
