High Carbon Damascus Steel Weidmannsheil Scrimshaw Fossil Ivory Small Toothpick Folder 3" Closed

"I am my own heroine."

Superb German Weidmannsheil quality shows throughout this excellent folder!

Start with Solingen high-carbon Damascus steel for excellent sharpening and edge-holding ability - Layers of hard and softer high carbon steel are forged together and folded a number of times to produce a layered billet of Damascus steel (long known as the very best steel for knife and sword blades) for this blade. Beautiful and distinctively-Damascus patterns on the blade are produced by acid etching after forging. Damascus blades got their name because the patterns on the steel resembled the patterns in the damask cloth also being made in Damascus. (When you look at a Damascus blade under a microscope, you see tiny saw-tooth carbides, which allow the blade to cut - even when it feels dull to the touch!)

Quality workmanship, brass liner and nickel-silver bolsters all combine to make this an altogether quality folder. 3 inches closed. Weidmannsheil made a very limited production run of these great Damascus folders - only 100 were made! We have only a few of these knives, so order now! A perfect gentleman's or lady's carrying knife! Buy the knife shown above with Fossil Walrus-Light Ivory. Comes with its own felt storage pouch.

We will also personalize this folder with a name or initials and a hand-etched design from those shown below. As an added personal option, let us etch your favorite scene, animal or boat.
