And that’s not even the most impressive feature, this 16-layer Damascus steel blade makes this everyday carry a highly functional work of art. Grab the Damascus Lockback Pocket knife the next time you want to carry a piece of history in your pocket. Features One-of-a-kind fossilized woolly mammoth bone handle Folding knife you can take on the go Strong and sharp VG-10 Steel blade Beautiful 16-layer Damascus steel finish Made in the USA Materials Blade: VG-10 Steel Handle: Woolly Mammoth Bone Dimensions Blade Length: 2¼” About Santa Fe Stoneworks Tucked away in a quaint century-old ranch house at the foot of the southernmost Rockies, the Santa Fe Stoneworks studio has the feeling of a grandfather’s workshop—filled with arcane tools, mystifying materials, and maybe a little magic. Unfinished knife blanks line the tables, asteroid-like chunks of turquoise pile on a workbench next to a stock of intriguing bones, and the walls are lined with a selection of rare paleontological finds that could make Indiana Jones blush. At the center of it all is Bill Wirtel, who left his job in 1978 to start his own shop in New Mexico’s legendary jewelry mecca and still hones the blades for Stoneworks’ gorgeous knives alongside his son and daughter to this day. Each blade is painstakingly hand-finished with a gem-quality handle, and the designs are one-of-a-kind—so they can’t be found unless you’re willing to do some industrial-grade digging. Better grab yours before they go extinct.
