Damascus Folding Knives

Brief History of Folding/Pocket Knives

Pocket or folding knives are great tools for hunting, camping, and hiking when you need something portable and practical. Our ancestors thought so, too, since the earliest known pocket knives date back to around 600–500 BCE. From the Iberian folding knives of indigenous tribes and the navaja of the Spanish to the Rampuri from the sub-continent, these knives have existed in various cultures with varying styles around the world. Their portability makes them popular to this date, and there are multiple designs and lock styles to choose from. One such option includes Damascus folding knives. They are strong, sharp, and useful, and make great collectibles and gifts.

How We Make Each Damascus Folding Knife at Unholy Blades

At Unholy Blades, we understand our customers want the best Damascus folding knives for themselves and their loved ones, so we place great effort into making each piece.

We hand-forge every single of our Damascus steel folding knives with great care. Our smiths weld 1095 and 15N20 steel into a billet, draw it out and fold it into hundreds of layers. This gives the metal its unique wavy pattern. This also means no two Damascus folding knives will be exactly the same.

While most of our Damascus Folding Knives use the metals mentioned above, some use D2 steel, which is an air-hardening, high carbon, high chromium tool steel with extremely high wear-resisting properties. This ensures every Damascus folding knife we create is of premium quality.
