Damascus Folding Knife

Folding knives with hand-forged Damascus blades. A folder trades a little strength for the ability to close and pocket safely, and the lock is what makes that trade work, so pay attention to lock type: liner locks are lighter, frame locks are stronger, and slipjoints have no lock at all. Blade lengths run from two and a half to four inches, with G10, titanium, bone and wood handle scales. Damascus is high-carbon, so wipe the blade dry and oil the pivot occasionally.
