Exquisite Damascus Steel Blade – Strength Meets Elegance

At the heart of the Rite Edge Bandera is its 3.75-inch clip point blade, forged from genuine Damascus steel. Known for its distinctive wave-like patterns, Damascus steel isn’t just admired for its aesthetic appeal—it also offers exceptional edge retention, toughness, and sharpness. The layered steel provides a durable, razor-sharp edge capable of handling everything from precision slicing to rugged outdoor tasks.

Adding to its visual and functional appeal, the blade features a fileworked spine, showcasing meticulous attention to detail while providing additional grip and control during use. The nail nick makes for easy, traditional manual deployment, maintaining the knife’s classic charm.

Stag Handle – Natural Beauty with Superior Grip

The Bandera’s handle is crafted from genuine stag, offering a rugged, natural texture that provides both beauty and a secure grip. No two stag handles are exactly alike, giving each knife a unique character and pattern. The rich, organic look of stag complements the striking Damascus blade, creating a knife that is both rustic and refined.

Accented with brass pins, liners, and bolsters, the handle combines strength with traditional aesthetics. The brass hardware not only enhances the knife’s durability but also adds a touch of classic elegance, highlighting the warm tones of the stag handle.

Reliable Lockback Mechanism – Secure and User-Friendly

Designed for both safety and ease of use, the lockback mechanism ensures that the blade stays securely in place during operation. This tried-and-true locking system provides reliable stability, preventing accidental closures and offering peace of mind whether you’re using the knife for daily tasks or outdoor adventures.
