PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Handmade Damascus Folding Knife with Green Pinecone Resin Handle
This handmade Damascus folding knife opens with a satisfying click, 3.5 inches of wavy-patterned steel locked solid at your thumb, crafted for those who appreciate distinctive materials and reliable everyday performance. The green pinecone resin handle sits cool and textured in a bare hand, each swirl of copper, emerald, and amber unique to this piece. Damascus steel forged to 59-60 HRC means an edge that outlasts production folders between trips to the strop.
The Blade
Damascus steel forged at 59 to 60 HRC sits above the 58 HRC ceiling common in kitchen and production blades. That extra hardness keeps the edge sharper longer between full sharpening sessions. The blade runs 3.5 inches, ground to a drop-point profile that handles slicing, skinning, and tip work equally well. Both flats carry the flowing Damascus grain, formed through hand-forging and finishing that press the layered pattern through the steel surface.
The Handle
Green pinecone resin locks natural pine cone fragments inside cast resin. The result holds color and organic texture without swelling, cracking, or absorbing oils over time. Copper, emerald, and amber tones run through each panel in a pattern that no two knives share. The 4-inch handle fills a medium hand with no dead space. Bare-handed, the surface is smooth with just enough grip at the resin edges. In a work glove, the bolster and heel provide a secure contact point.
The Build
A liner lock holds the blade rigid at full open. The spring-steel liner inside the handle snaps behind the blade tang under load. The blade cannot fold back during a hard cut. One thumb on the liner releases it cleanly for safe folding. The knife spans 7.5 inches overall and balances toward the handle. The blade does precise work without tiring the wrist. A hand-engraved stainless steel bolster anchors both handle panels and carries a carved fish-spine ridge along the top, visible in both the open and closed positions.
The Sheath
A hand-stitched natural leather sheath is included with every knife. The JW SteelCrafts brand stamp sits centered on the front face, with a brass snap button at the top for secure closure. The fit is snug on the draw with no rattle. Carry it on a belt or slip it into a bag pocket for trail or field use.
Real-World Use
At 3.5 inches, this blade falls within legal carry limits in most U.S. states. It suits hunters field-dressing small game, campers cutting cordage and prepping food, and collectors who carry and actually use their knives. The drop-point profile handles slicing cuts and detailed tip tasks in equal measure. Hand-forged Damascus steel holds a finer bevel than stamped production blades. The forge-welding process work-hardens each layer from the inside out, building edge resistance that stamping cannot replicate.
The JW Difference
Every JW SteelCrafts knife is hand-forged by individual craftsmen. No two pieces share the same Damascus pattern or pinecone resin swirl. This knife has earned 6 verified five-star reviews, with buyers noting sharp edges straight out of the box, fast shipping, and solid build quality. Orders ship within 1 to 2 business days from the USA.

Who Is This For
- The everyday carry user who wants a functional knife that does not look like every other folder on the market.
- The deer hunter who needs a compact, sharp blade for field dressing and camp utility tasks.
- The outdoor enthusiast who carries a knife for cutting cordage, food prep, and general trail work.
- The Damascus collector who keeps hand-forged pieces on display but wants one built and balanced for actual use.
How to Use It
Open the blade with the thumb stud on your dominant hand. The liner lock clicks into position at full extension. Grip all four fingers around the 4-inch handle for slicing cuts. Choke up toward the bolster for close detail work. Keep all cuts pushing away from the body. To close, press the liner inward with your thumb and fold the blade back against the handle. Never force a locked blade. The liner releases with light thumb pressure.
How to Care for It
After Every Use
-
Wipe the blade with a clean, dry cloth after each use.
-
Hand wash only with mild soap and warm water if needed.
-
Dry immediately and completely, including inside the pivot channel.
-
No dishwasher. Heat and detergent damage the resin handle and the blade's Damascus surface finish.
Every Few Weeks
-
Apply a thin coat of food-safe mineral oil to the blade flats to prevent surface oxidation.
-
Work one drop of light machine oil into the pivot pin for smooth, consistent opening.
-
Wipe the resin handle panels with a slightly damp cloth to remove dust. The handle does not need oil.
Storage
-
Store in the included leather sheath or a dry cloth roll.
-
Keep away from humid environments. Damascus steel will surface-rust if left wet.
-
Do not store the blade touching other steel edges.
Sharpening
-
Use a fine-grit whetstone or ceramic rod. Maintain the original bevel, approximately 20 to 22 degrees per side.
-
Work in consistent strokes from heel to tip, both sides equally.
-
Finish on a leather strop to align the edge between full sharpening sessions.
-
Avoid electric sharpeners with aggressive abrasive wheels, which remove the Damascus surface finish.
FAQs
What steel is the blade made from?
The blade is hand-forged Damascus steel, produced by forge-welding multiple steel layers together. The surface shows a flowing wave pattern across both flats. Hardness is 59 to 60 HRC, giving the blade a keen, lasting edge for everyday cutting tasks and field use.
Is this knife suitable for everyday carry?
Yes. The folding design and 7.5-inch overall length keep it compact and pocket-ready. The liner lock holds the blade secure under load and releases cleanly with one thumb. Blade length is 3.5 inches, within legal carry limits in most U.S. jurisdictions. Always verify local knife laws before carrying.
Does it come with a sheath?
Yes. A hand-stitched natural leather sheath is included with every knife. The sheath features the JW SteelCrafts brand stamp on the front face, a brass snap button at the top for secure closure, and a snug fit for the folded knife.
Can I use this knife for hunting?
Yes. The 3.5-inch drop-point blade handles field dressing, skinning, and camp tasks well. The liner lock keeps the blade rigid during a hard cut, and the pinecone resin handle stays secure in a work glove. Clean and oil the blade after contact with blood or moisture.
Will my knife look exactly like the photos?
No. Damascus pattern and pinecone resin texture vary piece to piece. The color swirl, pattern grain, and amber-to-green tones in the handle are natural and unrepeatable. No two knives are identical, and that variation is part of what makes each piece one of a kind.
How do I sharpen a Damascus knife?
Use a fine-grit whetstone or ceramic rod at approximately 20 to 22 degrees per side. Work from heel to tip in consistent strokes, then finish on a leather strop. Avoid electric sharpeners with aggressive abrasive wheels, which remove the Damascus surface finish and shorten blade life.
How long will this knife last?
With regular cleaning, oiling, and correct sharpening, a hand-forged Damascus knife lasts for decades. The liner lock pivot and solid steel pins are built for repeated daily use. Avoid extended exposure to moisture or acidic materials without cleaning and drying the blade afterward.
Is this knife a good gift?
Yes. The green pinecone resin panels, Damascus blade, and hand-stitched leather sheath make a strong visual impression straight out of the box. It suits collectors, hunters, campers, and outdoor enthusiasts equally well. The presentation is clean and ready to give.
The Perfect Gift
This knife lands well as a gift for Father's Day, Christmas, a retirement milestone, or a groomsman who will actually carry it. The Damascus blade, green pinecone resin panels, and hand-stitched leather sheath look sharp together from the first unboxing. It ships presentation-ready and no extra wrapping is needed.

I'm very pleased with this tent after having it for two years I've been in the rain I've been in the snow and it's held up pretty good but the cover that covers it did not hold up that good but the tent is perfect
Really enjoy the awning. Easy setup and got a little rain on the first trip. Easy to adjust for the run off. Very happy with the purchase!
I am one of the earliest customers Astrodome, I bought it and didn’t set it up for almost a year. By the time we set it up, we were blown away by the beauty of this space we purchased it on a mountain ledge in our glamping retreat in Lake County California two hours north of San as much as I love this space there are definitely some challenges with it in our location. It might work better than other locations, but we have had problems with the stakes, slipping and collapsing in the ground beneath and with the prevailing winds, it did stay up and it stays dry, even in tornadoes, but because the wind hits it from One Direction coming from the coast, this is definitely been a challenge for us we are going to try adding some weight inside it. The guests absolutely love this space keep in mind that with those skylights it’s going to get hot in the summertime but what’s nice is in the winter. It heats up almost passive solar. it’s also wonderful with a woodstove. A very cost effective alternative to a geodesic dome! If you want to experience it stay in ours, on Hipcamp.
I bought one of these at Scheels and absolutely love it. Great design, has everything you would ever need in a first aid/trauma/survival kit. Have one in all of my vehicles now. These guys truly thought of everything
A complete coverage of possibilities for my project and needs.
I love my new tent stove. Costumer service was also attentive and great to work with. Thank you.
The mounts work perfect with the truck bed rack I have on. Thank you for the excellent line of communication. You guys never kept me in the dark. I will ordering from you guys again.
I was wondering if you are able to sell just two extra mounts or do they just come in a set of six.
The color was even better in person. For well, looks well made and was easy to fold up and put into the carrying case. There was a bunch of colored plastic pieces from manufacturing on the mat, but I was able to vacuum it right up so be careful pulling it out.
Although it took a little extra time the delay very of my OVS Truck Topper was great. Good price too!
Fully engaged with customer, helped me get the crossbar I needed on time!
Product worked out great for my rack setup.
Order was delayed due to manufacturer delays, but my questions were answered and expectations on timing reset along the way. Cross bars were in perfect condition and work great!
I was in the market for a 3/4 length roof rack for my 4Runner as I wanted an upgrade from the OEM rails but still wanted to retain a somewhat OEM look. I am very happy that I went with the Sherpa Needle. It is a high quality rack with the best install method out of all the racks I looked at. I like that it is designed so you don’t have to deal with a mess of silicone when mounting. It is also nice that the fairing sits just above the roof instead of resting on it so that the paint does not get scratched. I was worried about wind noise because of this but I am happy to say there is no added wind noise at all.
I am also glad I purchased this rack through Live More Outside. I shopped around and they had the best pricing considering I was able to get a discount code, shipping was free, and they don’t charge sales tax. Shipping was prompt and I received the rack sooner than I thought I would.
Overall I am very pleased with this purchase and I will definitely come back to Live More Outside as I continue to build my rig.
By far one of the best customer service! Nathan has been a huge help on any questions and quick to respond! Live more outside is top notch. We are getting ready to hit our first outing with our new RTT. Cant wait to test it out. We also just purchased a 270 awning. I found one on another website but wanted to keep my business with live more outside. Nathan price matched and beat their price! We will continue to keep our business with this company!
