Damascus Depot Laguiolle Folding Knife 4.1" Blade Bull Horn 8.6

Damascus Steel Folding Knife

This hand-forged Damascus steel folding knife features a 4.1 inch blade with a custom twist pattern created from 1095 and 15N20 high and low carbon steel. The blade achieves a hardness of 56 to 58 HRC through excellent heat treatment. It measures 8.6 inches overall when open and folds to a 4.6 inch handle length. A bull horn handle with brass bolster and three brass pins provides durability and grip. A cowhide leather sheath with a belt loop is included for carry.

For Outdoors Enthusiasts and Collectors

The knife suits hunters, campers, and collectors who value traditional materials and hand-forged Damascus aesthetics. The 3.5 inch cutting edge handles field dressing and camp tasks effectively. Buyers needing a low-maintenance stainless blade should look elsewhere, as the high carbon content requires diligent care to prevent rust. Those who prefer a fixed blade for heavy batoning or prying will find the folding mechanism a limitation for such abuse.

Build Integration and Daily Carry

The included leather sheath secures to a belt for immediate access during outdoor activities. The folding design frees pocket space compared to fixed-blade alternatives while deploying to an 8.5 inch working length. Users must clean and oil the blade after each use and avoid long-term storage in the leather sheath, as absorbed moisture promotes corrosion. Regular maintenance with oil or wax preserves the edge and the Damascus pattern for long service life.
