Damask Co. Prijipati Damascus Folder

The story of damascus steel dates back more than 2,000 years. Believed to have originated in India, it’s made by folding hundreds of layers of steel together in a unique pattern. Because of this process, it’s been hailed as a super steel—so much so that it was used for Alexander the Great’s sword and was the preferred choice of Aristotle. Today, it’s characterized by distinct banding patterns resembling flowing water and has become known for its strength, edge retention, and aesthetic appeal. The Prijipati from Damask Co. features the impressive steel in its 3.5-inch blade. The handle, also made with damascus, features slanted grooves for grip, which pair nicely with the rippling look of the steel. To open the knife, use the thumbstud. It locks in place thanks to a solid liner lock. Also included is a leather sheath.
