SHOP CASE KNIVESThe LionSteel T.R.E. Gentleman Damascus Gray is a sophisticated folding knife that blends traditional artistry with modern Italian engineering. Designed for those who appreciate refined details and premium materials, this knife delivers elegance without sacrificing performance. With a total length of 175 mm, or 6.89 inches, it offers a compact, balanced profile that feels comfortable in hand while remaining easy to carry. The closed length of 3.98 inches keeps the silhouette slim and discreet, and at just 67 grams, or 2.36 ounces, it’s impressively lightweight for a knife built with all-metal construction.
The focal point of this piece is its striking 74 mm, or 2.91-inch, drop point blade forged from Chad Nichols Damascus steel. Renowned for its flowing patterns and exceptional craftsmanship, this Damascus blade brings a level of visual depth that’s impossible to replicate with standard steels. Each blade is unique, offering subtle variations in pattern that turn every knife into a one-of-a-kind piece. Beyond its beauty, the blade delivers reliable cutting performance, and the 3.5 mm thickness provides strength and stability while maintaining precise control during use.
Deployment is smooth and confident thanks to the blade flipper, allowing quick, one-handed opening with a refined, controlled action. The framelock mechanism ensures secure lockup during use, reinforcing confidence without adding unnecessary bulk. LionSteel’s precise machining and attention to detail are evident in the crisp action and seamless transitions between components, giving the knife a polished, high-end feel every time it’s handled.
The handle and frame are crafted from gray carbon fiber, including Carbon fiber 6Al-4V for the handle material, known for its exceptional strength-to-weight ratio and corrosion resistance. This all-carbon fiber construction gives the T.R.E. Gentleman Damascus Gray a solid yet feather-light feel, along with a clean, modern aesthetic. The uniform gray finish complements the intricate Damascus blade, creating a cohesive design that feels understated, refined, and purpose-built. Ergonomics are carefully considered, offering a comfortable grip that feels natural during everyday tasks.
