Rosewood Curvecrest™ Handcrafted Damascus Utility Knife – 5" Blade

The Rosewood Curvecrest™ is a handcrafted fixed-blade utility knife for everyday outdoor tasks, campsite food preparation, workshop use, and collection display.

It measures 9.5 inches overall and features a 5-inch hand-forged Damascus steel blade with a 4.5-inch cutting edge. The 3/16-inch blade thickness provides a substantial handcrafted profile for controlled utility work.

240-Layer Hand-Forged Damascus Blade

The blade is hand forged from 240 layers of 5160 and 4340 carbon steel. The forging process produces the distinctive layered pattern that gives each blade an individual appearance.

Its double-bevel cutting edge is suited to routine utility tasks. As with any carbon-steel blade, clean, dry, and lightly oil it after use to help maintain its finish.

Stabilized Rosewood Handle

The curved handle is crafted from stabilized rosewood with a fiber liner. Its shaped profile provides a comfortable, secure hold for controlled everyday use.

Because rosewood is a natural material, each handle will vary in grain pattern and shade. Stabilization improves durability while preserving the natural character of the wood.

Vegetable-Tanned Leather Sheath

A vegetable-tanned leather sheath is included to protect the knife during storage and transport. It has horizontal and vertical belt-loop attachment options.

Always clean and fully dry the blade before placing it in the sheath. Do not store a damp blade inside the leather sheath.
