SHOP CASE KNIVESThe Ocaso Knives Solstice Damasteel Folding Knife with Space Coral Handle is a stunning evolution of a modern gentleman’s knife, merging cutting-edge materials with refined design and effortless performance. Designed by Andrew Demko, the Solstice delivers precision, smooth action, and a bold visual statement in a compact, lightweight package. Every element—from the patterned Damasteel blade to the sculpted Fat Carbon® handle—reflects careful craftsmanship, making this knife a standout for collectors, enthusiasts, and anyone who appreciates a premium everyday carry.
At the heart of the Solstice is a 3.5-inch Damasteel Bifrost DS93X blade, finished with a straight back and flat grind for versatile, precise cutting performance. The Damasteel pattern is not only visually striking but also highlights the steel’s strength, edge retention, and corrosion resistance. With a hardness rating of 58–60 HRC, the blade holds a sharp edge while remaining durable under frequent use. The liner lock, combined with stainless steel caged bearings, provides smooth, snappy deployment and secure operation, making opening and closing the knife effortless and reliable.
The handle is crafted from ultra-light Fat Carbon® in the unique Space Coral finish, giving the knife a weight of just 2 ounces while providing an eye-catching, tactile surface. Its ergonomic contours fit naturally in the hand, offering a secure, comfortable grip during extended use. The handle’s vibrant, textured design elevates the knife beyond function, turning it into a statement piece while maintaining practical performance. Complementing the handle, polished hardware and an anodized titanium backspacer enhance both aesthetics and durability.
An ambidextrous fold-over stainless steel deep-carry pocket clip ensures secure, versatile carry, accommodating both left- and right-handed users. Measuring 7.8 inches overall, the Solstice is compact enough for daily carry while substantial enough to feel confident in hand. Made in Maniago, Italy—the historic “city of knives”—this folding knife combines centuries of craftsmanship with modern materials and precision engineering.
Striking patterned Damasteel blade paired with sculpted, tactile Space Coral handle for exceptional style, available at SMKW.
