TACTICAL GEARZ Damascus Pocket Knife for EDC! (Onyx XT Midnight)

The knives we offer use real, layered and forged Damascus steel to achieve their beautiful designs and patterns. What is Damascus steel, you ask? It's a type of steel that is created by hammer-welding strips of steel and iron, followed by repeated heating and forging, resulting in a wavy surface pattern. Damascus steel can come in a wide variety of designs and patterns, as it is not a specific steel grade, but rather a process used to create a multi-layered steel blade with creative designs.

The Damascus steel-making process can involve anywhere from a couple of layers to over a hundred, each yielding a unique style and outcome. Despite the thousands of potential results, the fundamental process remains the same: layering different types of steel through heating, welding, and forging.

Typically, Damascus steel is created by combining high-carbon steel with stainless steel. The addition of steel fragments or a steel cluster between the layers can also result in different creative patterns on the blade's surface. After the forging is complete, an acid wash is used to react with the variations in high-carbon steel, bringing out the unique blade patterns that are the hallmark of Damascus steel.

The versatility of techniques and steel materials that can be used in the creation of Damascus steel is what makes it so unique and popular with consumers. This particular knife features a solid Tc4 titanium handle and a 67-layer Damascus steel blade with a VG10 core, making it an exceptional everyday carry (EDC) tool.

The handle is constructed from solid Tc4 titanium, featuring a hole pattern design that not only adds visual interest but also contributes to the knife's lightweight of just 3.3 ounces. The 67-layer Damascus steel blade with a VG10 core boasts a Tanto edge and a hardness of 60-62 HRC, ensuring both durability and precision. The blade length is 3.5 inches, with an overall length of 8.25 inches.

This knife comes with a custom gift box and a nylon storage sheath, making it an excellent choice for both everyday use and as a gift. The combination of the solid titanium handle, the multi-layered Damascus steel blade, and the high-quality VG10 core make this knife a true standout in the world of EDC tools.
