Collectible Knife Series - The Case Damascus Knife Series
Posted on October 9, 2007

One of the best looking case collectible pocket knife series on the market is the case Damascus pocket knife selection. I’ve got four available in this series, the Case Canoe Damascus, the Case Small Saddle Horn Damascus, the Case Tiny Trapper Damascus, and the Case Muskrat Damascus.
All of the blades of this Case Damascus collectible series are made of rainbow Damascus steel. All of the handles are up peach seed G-8 burnt amber bone.
The MSRP of these pocket knives is commonly just under $200. I keep these knives available at a normal price of about around $100.
Here are a few pics below of this collectible pocket knife series. Click on any of the images to take you to the knife & supply Company website to see more details about each knife. I also have the current inventory available.

A Wikipedia Definition of Damascus Steel
Damascus steel is a steel used in Middle Eastern swordmaking from about 1100 to 1700AD. Damascus swords were of legendary sharpness and strength, and were apocryphally claimed to be able to cut through lesser quality European swords and even rock. The exact technique used to create original Damascus steel is now a matter of historical conjecture.
Damascus swords often had an obvious patterned texture on their surface. Several other steelmaking techniques also result in patterned surfaces, and have often been sold as Damascus steel, Damascened steel and sometimes watered steel. The most common technique for producing these materials is the pattern welding, which is today widely used for custom knife making. Skilled swordsmiths can manipulate the patterns to mimic the complex designs found in the surface of the original, medieval Damascus steel.
Another theory behind the hardness of Damascus steel is that the steel contains a small amount of vanadium, which would theoretically strengthen the blade.
Here’s an interesting video of the forging and twisting of Damascus steel.
Thanks for dropping by.

Unfortunately, I don’t have any of these Case Knives in my inventory right now. Every now and then we get them in. You may want to check eBay. I saw one on there a couple of days ago. I sent the link to your email but your email server kicked back my message.
