Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is the skull design on the handle printed or raised?
A: The design is 3D sculpted/raised. The handle scales are molded aluminum with a physical relief pattern of skulls, which not only looks incredible but also provides additional grip texture.
Q: What is the finish on the blade?
A: The blade and handle both feature a heavy stonewash finish. This involves tumbling the metal with abrasive stones to create a non-reflective, textured surface that effectively hides scratches and gives the knife a "battle-hardened" antique appearance.
Q: How do you open the DS-A055SW?
A: This is a spring-assisted knife. It features a "flipper" tab on the back of the handle. When you press down on this tab, an internal spring propels the blade open instantly until it locks into place.
