Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is the blade real Damascus steel?
A: No, the blade is made from durable 3Cr13 stainless steel. The intricate wave pattern you see is a laser-etched finish designed to mimic the look of traditional Damascus steel, giving you the aesthetic appeal at a much more affordable price point.
Q: Is this a switchblade?
A: No, this is a spring-assisted folding knife. While it looks like a classic Italian automatic stiletto, it does not open with a button. You must manually initiate the opening using the flipper tab on the spine, making it legal in many more areas than a switchblade.
Q: How does the handle feel?
A: The handle is substantial and textured. The raised dragon sculpture provides a unique, uneven grip surface that prevents slipping, while the reverse side features a diamond-plate texture for added traction.
