Damascus Double Blade Folding Knife – Stag Handle | Cross Etched Blades | Leather Pouch

Damascus Double Blade Folding Knife – Stag Handle | Cross Etched Blades | Embossed Leather Pouch

Two blades. One handle. Zero compromises. This isn't a standard two-blade pocket knife — it's a handmade Damascus folding knife where both blades are individually forged, individually etched, and individually sharpened. The larger blade carries a cross and bull etching on the Damascus pattern; the smaller blade features three cross etchings. These aren't decorations stamped on after the fact — they're worked into the blade surface by hand, giving each knife a character that's entirely its own.

The natural stag bone handle is fitted with brass pins and shaped to a comfortable grip that works for both blades. The embossed leather pouch — black exterior with hand-tooled brown interior — is stitched by hand and designed to carry both blades safely. This is a pocket knife for people who take their tools seriously.

Benefits and Use Cases

A two-blade folding knife gives you options that a single-blade knife doesn't. Keep the large blade for heavier cutting tasks — rope, food prep, field work — and the small blade sharp for precision cuts, detail work, and tasks where a large blade is too much. The Damascus steel holds a keen edge on both blades, and the stag bone handle provides a grip that's comfortable for extended use. The embossed leather pouch protects both blades during carry and storage.

Handmade Craftsmanship

Both blades are forged from high carbon Damascus steel by hand, ground to shape, and acid-etched to reveal the layered pattern. The cross and bull symbols on the large blade and the triple cross on the small blade are etched by hand — not laser-engraved or stamped. The stag bone handle scales are individually fitted and pinned. The leather pouch is cut, tooled, and stitched by hand. Every component of this knife was made by a craftsman who takes the details seriously.

Knife Care Instructions

• Wipe both blades dry after every use — high carbon Damascus is reactive to moisture
• Apply a thin coat of mineral oil or camellia oil to both blades after cleaning
• Oil the pivot points occasionally to keep the folding mechanism smooth
• Sharpen each blade individually with a fine whetstone at a 20-degree angle per side
• Condition the stag bone handle with linseed oil occasionally to prevent drying
• Store in the leather pouch in a dry location

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a slip-joint folding knife?

A slip-joint is the traditional folding knife mechanism — the blade is held open by spring tension rather than a locking mechanism. It's the classic pocket knife design used for centuries. The blade can be closed with deliberate pressure, making it legal to carry in many jurisdictions where locking blades are restricted. Check your local laws before carrying.

Why does this knife have two blades?

Two blades give you two different blade profiles for different tasks. The larger clip point blade handles heavier cutting, while the smaller blade is better suited for precision work. You can also keep one blade dedicated to food prep and the other for general use, avoiding cross-contamination.

What do the cross etchings on the blades mean?

The cross and bull symbol on the large blade and the triple cross on the small blade are hand-etched designs worked into the Damascus pattern. They're a signature element of this knife's design — a detail that makes it recognizable and personal. The meaning is yours to assign.

Is the stag bone handle genuine?

Yes. The handle scales are made from natural stag bone, which has a distinctive cream-to-tan color with natural grain variations. Because it's a natural material, each handle looks slightly different — no two are identical.

Does the leather pouch fit both blades safely?

Yes. The pouch is designed and fitted specifically for this knife in its closed position, with both blades folded into the handle. It protects the blades and the handle during carry and storage.

Can I sharpen both blades at home?

Yes. Both blades can be sharpened with a fine whetstone or diamond stone at a consistent 20-degree angle per side. Sharpen each blade separately. Damascus steel responds well to sharpening and will take a keen edge with proper technique.
