The Nomad's Clasp - Handmade Folding Pocket Knife – 3" Damascus Steel & Bone/Horn

The Tale of "The Nomad's Clasp"

In the pockets of adventurers, ranchers, and craftsmen, there lives a knife that bridges worlds—The Nomad's Clasp. This 7-inch folding masterpiece combines the rugged reliability of a fixed blade with the convenience of a pocket carry, all secured by a rock-solid back lock mechanism.

At its heart lies a 3-inch forged Damascus steel blade, each swirling pattern telling the story of its creation. The high-carbon core takes and holds a frightening edge, whether you're opening packages, preparing campfire kindling, or handling day-to-day tasks.

Choose your grip:

• "Gentleman's Edition" features aged bone scales, exotic wood spacers, and polished steel bolsters for refined carry

• "Shepherd's Edition" boasts textured sheep horn, steel bolsters, and a grip that molds to your hand with time

Both versions nestle into a hand-stitched leather case, protecting the blade while showcasing its beauty. The back lock snaps with authority, ensuring safety during use and peace of mind in your pocket.

This isn't just a folding knife—it's your silent partner in a thousand daily victories.
