Damascus Depot Laguiole Folding Knife 8 Inches with Corkscrew & Sheath

Damascus Folding Knife With Corkscrew

This hand-forged folding knife measures 8 inches overall and carries a 3.8-inch rain-twist Damascus blade. The handle combines bull horn, camel bone, brass and red-fibre scales secured with five brass pins. A built-in wine opener adds utility for camp or table use. It ships with a thick cow-hide leather sheath that includes a belt loop for everyday carry.

Blade Behaviour Under Extended Use

The blade is forged from 1095 and 15N20 high- and low-carbon steels, giving a hard edge that holds sharpness through prolonged cutting tasks. High carbon content means the steel will rust if moisture is left on the surface, so the blade must be cleaned and lightly oiled after each session. Storing the knife inside the leather sheath for long periods is discouraged because the leather can trap humidity. Regular maintenance keeps the edge reliable over many outings.

Materials And Daily Carry Implications

Brass pins and the mixed horn, bone and fibre scales create a dense, stable grip that resists shifting in wet or cold conditions. The integrated corkscrew folds flush, adding no snag points when the knife is pocketed or belt-mounted. The supplied sheath protects the edge and allows vertical carry, though the maker advises against long-term storage in leather. Buyers who need a locking mechanism or a fully stainless blade should consider other designs.
