Damascus Trapper Pocket Knife Two Blade Folding Knife with Green Bone Handle

The trapper pattern dates back generations, prized for pairing a clip blade with a spey blade in one folding frame. Damascus forging is older still, built from layered steel folded repeatedly until a wavy pattern emerges.

Jigged bone handles became a hallmark of traditional cutlery for their grip and texture, and JWSteelCrafts continues that tradition with each knife forged and assembled by hand.

What Exactly Is the Damascus Trapper Pocket Knife?

The Damascus Trapper Pocket Knife revives a classic two-blade pattern that's been a staple among collectors and outdoorsmen for generations. A clip blade and a spey blade fold side by side into a single frame, each forged from twisted Damascus steel with a wavy, wood-grain surface that never repeats from knife to knife.

The handle is finished in jigged bone with a sage-green tone, giving the piece a traditional look that still feels current. This build features a sage-green jigged bone handle, brass bolster, and matching cowhide leather sheath, a pairing you won't find on any other piece in the lineup.

Specifications

Jigged Bone Handle: Comfort and Character

Jigged bone covers the handle in a textured, sage-green finish that's as functional as it is traditional. A brass bolster caps each end of the frame, adding both strength and a polished look where the bone meets the steel.

Twisted Damascus Steel: More Than Just a Pretty Pattern

Twisted Damascus steel keeps a fine edge with regular use, though it does require occasional oiling to stay rust-free. The clip blade handles everyday cutting tasks with a sharp, controlled point, while the spey blade works well for flatter cuts where a curved tip would get in the way.

Product Care for JW SteelCrafts Hand-Forged Products

To ensure the longevity and beauty of your hand-forged JW SteelCrafts products, follow these essential care instructions:

1. Regular Cleaning
   Wipe your knives, swords, axes, and rings with a soft cloth to remove dust and debris. For deeper cleaning, use a mild soap solution and a non-abrasive cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasives that could damage the steel’s finish.
2. Dry Thoroughly
   After cleaning, ensure your product is completely dried. This helps prevent water spots, rust, or corrosion, particularly on blades and steel surfaces exposed to moisture.
3. Proper Storage
   Store your hand-forged products in a dry, cool place to prevent oxidation or rust. For long-term storage, consider applying a thin layer of oil (e.g., mineral oil or gun oil) to the metal surfaces, or using a rust inhibitor. When storing knives and swords, keep them in protective sheaths or pouches to prevent contact with other materials.
4. Avoid Impact
   While designed for strength and durability, avoid dropping or striking your steel products against hard surfaces. This can cause damage to the blade, edge, or overall integrity of the piece.
5. Edge Maintenance (For Knives & Swords)
   Periodically sharpen the blades to maintain their cutting edge. Use a proper sharpening stone or take your product to a professional for maintenance. Always sharpen in the correct direction to preserve the blade’s integrity.
6. Routine Inspection
   Regularly inspect your products for any signs of wear, rust, or damage. If you notice any issues, reach out to us for maintenance, restoration, or repair services.

By following these care instructions, your JW SteelCrafts products will retain their craftsmanship, functionality, and beauty for years to come.
