Meteor Handmade Personalized Damascus Steel Pocket Knife - 8.0" Overall - 3.75" Drop Point Folding Blade, Exotic Red Sandalwood Handle, Ball Bearing Mechanism, Hand Stitched Leather Sheath, Pro Knife Sharpening & Free Engraving

Damascus Blade Detail:

The blade is carefully hand forged using 15N20 & 1095 steel through a process of layering, welding, hammering, and shaping. This traditional forging process creates a distinctive Damascus pattern across every blade, giving each knife its own unique appearance similar to a fingerprint. Each Meteor pocket knife is individually handcrafted and visually distinctive.

Damascus steel has outstanding properties of strength and hardness. We enhance these properties through double oil quenching at approximately 2100°F to rapidly cool the steel and develop hardness throughout the blade. The finished blade achieves approximately HRC 58-60 on the Rockwell Scale for dependable cutting performance and edge retention.

The contrasting steel layers are finished using ferric chloride, which reacts differently with the metals and reveals the distinctive Damascus pattern across the blade.

Scales & Handle Detail:

The handle is handcrafted using highly figured exotic red sandalwood, selected for its distinctive natural grain, rich color, and comfortable feel. The wood is carefully finished and treated to help resist moisture, drying, and everyday wear. The handle complements the folding blade while providing a refined appearance and secure grip.

Attributes & Features:

HAND FORGED DAMASCUS STEEL: Manufactured with hand forged Damascus steel at approximately HRC 58-60 hardness, the Meteor is designed for excellent cutting performance, durability, and edge retention.

The compact folding design makes it suitable for everyday carry, outdoor utility, camping, collecting, and general cutting tasks.

BALL BEARING FOLDING MECHANISM: The folding blade uses a ball-bearing mechanism designed to provide smooth blade movement and convenient operation. This compact design makes the Meteor easy to carry while maintaining a refined and practical folding profile.

ULTIMATELY DURABLE HANDLE: The meticulously constructed red sandalwood handle is carefully treated and finished to improve resistance to moisture, drying, temperature changes, and everyday wear. Its natural grain and rich color give each knife a distinctive appearance while maintaining a secure grip.

SUPERIOR SHARPNESS: The ruthlessly sharp edge is meticulously handcrafted by seasoned artisans to achieve a mirror-polished finish at approximately 12-15° per side using the traditional 3-step honing method. Precision sharpening helps create a consistent bevel and smooth cutting performance.

LIFETIME WARRANTY: No premium knife is complete without a lifetime warranty; this Shokunin USA knife is backed by a lifetime warranty against manufacturing defects, with qualifying defective products eligible for exchange or return.
