Where it earns its keep: the traditional carrier who wants one pocket knife that covers five jobs. Open the long clip point for slicing, the saw for green wood, the hook for dressing small game, the short secondary blade for detail work, and the corkscrew for the end of the day.
Care: Keep it dry and keep the pivots clean. Rinse grit out of the joints, dry them, and work a drop of light oil into each pivot so the blades stay smooth. Hang it up rather than leaving it in the sheath.
FAQs
How many blades open on it? Five separate tools, all pinned to the same frame. Each has its own nail nick so you can pick the one you want without opening the rest.
Does it fit in a pocket? Yes. Folded it is a little over four inches of handle. The tools take up no room until you need them.
Is there a sheath? Yes. A hand-stitched leather sheath comes with it, in a gift-ready box.
The five tools
The main blade is the long one, ground with a clip point and enough belly for food and rope. The saw has coarse set teeth for green branches rather than seasoned lumber. The hook is a dressing hook, sharpened on the inside curve. The short blade takes the fiddly work you would rather not put a four inch edge near, and the corkscrew is a real one with a sharp starting point. If you want the reasoning behind a frame like this, our multi-blade pocket knife guide covers it.
Handle and finish
Camel bone is dense, warm to hold, and it takes the polish you can see along the scales. Brass pins and a brass liner sit flush with the bone. The blades are finished to a mirror shine with custom file-work, which is the part that takes the longest and the part you notice first. At 10 oz it feels like a tool. Bone darkens a little along the edges where your fingers sit, which is how an old one tells you its age.
Sharpening five edges
Five edges means five different jobs on the stone. Do the main blade and the short blade on a flat stone at your usual angle, use a round file or a tapered rod for the inside of the hook, and leave the saw alone. Our walkthrough on how to sharpen a knife has the angles. If you would rather carry one purpose-built edge than five, the Hornback single-blade skinner is the other end of the same idea.

Best knife I’ve ever owned. Hands down. Balance in hand is perfect for detail work at the cutting board. If you’re on the fence just get it. You won’t regret it.

This knife looks even better in person than in the listing photos. Slices through everything like butter, no sawing needed. This is my new favorite in the collection.

Five stars isn’t even enough honestly. Cleans up easy and hasn’t shown any rust or staining. Edge geometry makes thin slicing so much easier than my old knife. Great buy overall. Made in the USA and shipped worldwide with no issues on my end.
Katherine Lee –
Got this for a birthday gift and now I want one for myself too.
Ronald Baker –
This knife was subpar start to finish. Not the experience I expected from Black Mamba Knives given their reputation. Blade dulled almost immediately after first use. Handle came loose from the tang within days. Considering asking for a return.
Donald Scott –
A bit disappointed with this one honestly. Edge chipped slightly after normal kitchen use. Might work for someone less picky than me. Black Mamba Knives usually does better than this in my experience. Shipped from the US but still took longer than expected.
Cody Garcia –
It’s so so. Not great not bad. Edge dulled a bit faster than I expected with regular use. Does the job in the kitchen but nothing special. It’s okay for the price.
