The 250th Anniversary collection marks America’s semiquincentennial with a small run of hand-forged Damascus knives built around the theme – patriotic handle materials, engraved bolsters, red-white-and-blue resin and stabilised wood, and commemorative sheath tooling. Every piece is forged the way the rest of our catalogue is: folded high-carbon Damascus, hand-hammered to 200 or more layers, ground and heat treated to 58-60 HRC, then acid etched so the pattern stands out beneath the commemorative finish work.
What is the 250th anniversary? July 4, 2026 marked 250 years since the Declaration of Independence – the United States Semiquincentennial. These knives were forged for it.
Is this a limited run? Yes. The collection is deliberately small and will not be reforged once the pieces sell; the Damascus billets were made specifically for this run.
Are they usable knives? Fully. Nothing about the commemorative finish changes the heat treat or the edge geometry – these will hunt, camp and cut like any other Black Mamba blade.
Do they make good gifts? They are among our most requested pieces for veterans, retirements and Independence Day gifts, and engraving can be added on request.
What ships with each knife? A hand-stitched leather sheath, a certificate of authenticity, and care instructions for high-carbon Damascus steel.
