Questions & Answers

Q: Is the blade real Damascus or just a printed pattern?
A: The blade is real hand-forged Damascus steel, made from stacked and forged layers of steel, then acid-etched to reveal the natural pattern.

Q: Does this knife lock when open?
A: Yes. It uses a back-lock mechanism that clicks into place when fully opened and is released by pressing the lock bar on the spine.

Q: Can I use this as an everyday carry knife?
A: Absolutely. It’s designed as a compact pocket/folding knife suitable for daily tasks like opening packages, light outdoor use and general utility.

Q: Will the Damascus pattern fade over time?
A: With normal use and proper care (keeping it dry and lightly oiled), the pattern will remain visible. Heavy polishing or abrasion can lighten the etch, so use gentle cleaning methods.

Q: Is each knife exactly the same as the photos?
A: Every piece is handmade, so the Damascus pattern and rosewood grain will vary slightly, making each knife unique while keeping the same overall design and size.
