Lunar Handmade Damascus Butterfly Knife - 9.0" Overall - 4.0" Damascus Steel Blade, Damascus Steel & Bull Horn Handle, Latch Lock Folding Mechanism with Hand Stitched Leather Sheath, Pocket Knife Sharpener, Pro Knife Sharpening & Personalization
Damascus Steel and Blade Detail
The blade is carefully handcrafted by combining 1095 & 15N20 steel through a process of layering, forge welding, hammering, and shaping. This process creates a distinctive Damascus pattern across every blade, giving each Lunar Butterfly Knife its own individual handcrafted appearance.
The blade is oil quenched at approximately 2100°F and rapidly cooled, with the process repeated twice to develop hardness throughout the steel. The finished blade achieves approximately HRC 62+ on the Rockwell Scale for dependable strength, durability, edge retention, and cutting performance.
Scales & Handle
The handle combines real Damascus steel and natural bull horn, creating a distinctive handcrafted appearance with contrasting materials, texture, and pattern. Natural variations in the bull horn ensure that every handle has its own individual character.
The butterfly-style folding construction uses a latch lock to secure the handles when closed. The handle components are carefully fitted and finished to provide a balanced feel and distinctive traditional butterfly knife design.
