Run a thumbnail across the flat and you feel the etched pattern in the steel. The green honeycomb inlay and hand-engraved metal bolsters make it look as good on a desk as it performs in a pocket.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe Blade\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe blade is hand-forged from Damascus steel and measures 3.5 inches. It is heat-treated to 59-60 HRC on the Rockwell scale. At that hardness, the edge stays sharp through repeated cuts in camp or field use and resharpens cleanly on a whetstone. The acid-etched finish reveals the layered pattern that is unique to each hand-forged piece. No two blades look identical.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe Handle\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe 4-inch handle carries a green honeycomb inlay set into hand-engraved metal bolsters. The honeycomb texture gives your fingers something to grip whether you are bare-handed or wearing gloves in the cold.

Balance point sits just ahead of the pivot, which is natural and comfortable for a folding knife at this size. The mechanism is built for repeated daily use. A liner lock is the right choice here because it keeps the blade secure without adding bulk to the handle.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe Sheath\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe knife ships with a hand-stitched genuine leather sheath.

The liner lock and compact overall length make it a capable everyday carry for a hunter who needs a utility blade between shots in the field. A collector who actually carries will value the fact that the Damascus pattern on their knife belongs to no other piece in the world. Hand-forged steel takes more time at the anvil than a stamped blade, and that extra work shows up in edge geometry and grain structure that a machine cannot replicate.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe JW Difference\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eJW SteelCrafts hand-forges every knife in its line.
