Damascus Fish Folding Knife with Bone Handle and Leather Sheath

This handmade Damascus fish folding knife is a refined blend of traditional craftsmanship and artistic design. Inspired by classic fish-style pocket knives, this piece features a hand-forged Damascus steel blade paired with a natural bone handle and a solid brass bolster, giving it a timeless and collectible character.

The Damascus fish folding knife arrives at 7.5 inches and settles in the palm with the weight of solid brass at the bolster end. The 3.5-inch blade is hand-forged Damascus steel with a twisted wave pattern that runs from the base to the tip. Natural bone fills the body of the fish, warm and amber in the light, and no two pieces share the same grain.

The Blade

This blade is hand-forged Damascus steel with a twisted layered pattern built into the metal during the forging process. The blade runs 3.5 inches and is hardened to HRC 59-60. At that hardness level, the edge holds through extended everyday use without becoming brittle. Most production hunting knives and professional kitchen knives fall in the same range. The twisted Damascus wave pattern is not surface etching. It is the visible result of the forging process, and no two blades produce the same lines.

The Handle

The handle pairs natural bone scales with a solid brass bolster at the fish head and tail. Bone gives you a warm, organic grip surface with natural color variation from piece to piece. The amber tones shift depending on the light. The crosshatch pattern cut into the bone adds texture for grip without sharpening edges. Brass pins secure the scales to the frame and sit flush with the surface. In a bare hand, the brass bolster adds noticeable warmth and weight compared to a standard polymer handle.

The Build

This is a liner lock folder. The liner lock engages automatically when the blade reaches full open and holds the blade in position under lateral pressure. To close, press the liner inward with your thumb and fold the blade back. The overall knife measures 7.5 inches. The brass hardware at the pivot and spine carries most of the handle weight toward the rear, which keeps the fish profile balanced when the blade is deployed.

The Sheath

A hand-stitched natural leather sheath is included. It protects the closed knife during storage and carrying. The leather is brown, hand-stitched at the edges with visible stitch detail, and closes with a brass snap button. The JW SteelCrafts embossing is pressed into the face. The sheath fits this folding knife without bulk and holds it securely in position.
