Collectible knives — display and collector pieces rather than working tools.
Damascus steel. Most blades here are 256-layer Damascus: layers of steel folded and forge-welded repeatedly, then etched so the layers show as a rippled pattern. No two blades carry exactly the same figuring.
Handles. Turquoise, abalone shell, obsidian, wood and inlaid combinations. Animal motifs including lion and elephant designs.
Folding and fixed. Both are represented — check the product page for blade length and lock type.
Who buys them. Collectors, and people looking for a substantial gift that is not jewelry — a retirement, a milestone birthday, a groomsman.
