Ironvale lockback folding knife with ebony handle and brass bolsters

Couteau pliant Ironvale Lockback

Q: What steel is this blade made from and how hard is it?

Damascus Steel hardened to 58 to 62 HRC on the Rockwell scale. Hand-forged layered steel folded to reveal a distinctive flowing wave pattern — no two blades are alike. Prized for its hard cutting edge and excellent edge retention. Hand wash, dry immediately, and apply a light coat of food-grade oil to protect the etched pattern.

Q: Can this piece be personalised or engraved?

Yes — we can engrave a name, date, monogram, or graphic on most of our blades using a 50-watt fiber laser for crisp, permanent detail. Simply send us your engraving details by email after placing your order and we'll take care of the rest.

Exact measurements for this piece are being added — reach out and we're happy to confirm dimensions before you order.

Hand wash only with warm water and mild soap, and dry immediately — never leave a blade soaking or run it through a dishwasher. Wipe on a light coat of food-grade mineral oil after use to protect the steel, and store it dry in a sheath, knife roll, or on a magnetic strip. A few seconds of care after each use keeps a hand-forged edge true for decades.
