Switchblades with Damascus Blade?

Post by LGustin »

Are there any quality stilettos made with a Damascus steel blade? I would like to find one but not sure what to search for. So far I haven’t seen any so I’m wondering if they exist or if they are called something else? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Dang boots, that checks all the boxes. Can I borrow $2,200?
So that answers the question, they do exist. Now I want to find one I can afford that has ram horn scales.

I agree! I have a few with stainless steel blades. They are very well made knives.

Latama sold several with Damascus blades. I don't think they offered any with rams horn handles though. You'd probably have to get lucky and find one of their Damascus blade knives on the second hand market.

There have also been AKC Leverlettos with Damascus blades.

Frank Beltrame also produced several under his own brand, both swivel bolster and swing guard.

Here are some Damascus bladed knives with Stag scales. The top knife was made by Giovanni Del Tin and is 19 1/2 inches in length. The next three are from the Campolins. Smaller knives from various makers.

If interested, let me know and I can provide more info and pricing.

Still looking for the right Damascus blade stiletto. Ram horn scales would be my first choice but will consider others. Thanks
