About Damascus Folding Knives

What blade length works best in a folding knife?

A 2 inch blade tucks flattest in a pocket, while the fuller 4 inch options add reach for camp chores. None of these are full tang, since a folding blade pivots on a lock rather than one piece of steel; handles come in resin, bone, horn, stag, olive wood, rosewood and other woods.

How can you tell if a pocket knife is real Damascus?

Real pattern-welded Damascus shows a pattern forged through the steel, visible on the spine and near the edge. Each ships with a leather belt slip. For a fixed blade, see our Damascus hunting knives; for a folder in bone, see bone handle knives; for a present, gifts for hunters; and for a lower price, our carbon and satin steel knives. Our real vs fake Damascus guide shows what to check.

Common questions

Is Damascus steel good for a pocket knife?

Yes. Pattern-welded Damascus of 1095 and 15N20 steel takes and holds an edge well at the 2 to 4 inch blade lengths used in a folding knife. Our Damascus folders run from $99 to $139 and come with a leather belt slip.

How much should a real Damascus pocket knife cost?

A hand-forged Damascus pocket knife typically runs from about $99 for a smaller blade to $139 for a larger one with fitted handle scales. Price tracks the pattern work and the handle material more than the blade length.

How do you care for a Damascus pocket knife?

Wipe the blade dry after use, put a drop of oil on the pivot and a thin coat on the blade now and then, and never leave it damp in a pocket for days. Pattern-welded Damascus rusts if left wet. Sharpen it by hand on a stone.

Are folding knives full tang?

No. A folding knife pivots on a lock and liner rather than running as one piece of steel through the handle, so none of our folding knives are full tang. Our fixed-blade hunting and camp knives use full-tang construction instead.

What comes with a Crownridge pocket knife?

Every folding knife ships with a char leather belt slip with a belt loop, made to carry the closed knife on a belt, at no extra cost. Shipping in the US is free, a knife without engraving can be returned within 30 days, and the Limited Lifetime Warranty applies.
