SHOP CASE KNIVESThe Ocaso Knives Solstice Damascus Folding Knife is a refined, high-performance gentleman’s knife that blends premium materials with Italian craftsmanship. Built in Maniago, Italy—a region world-famous for its knife-making tradition—the Solstice is designed by Andrew Demko, one of the most respected names in custom tactical knife design. The result is a folding knife that delivers precision, style, and function in a sleek, lightweight package.
At the core of the Solstice is a 3.5-inch straight-back blade crafted from 120-layer German Damascus steel. This premium steel not only offers a striking, patterned finish but also delivers excellent edge retention, corrosion resistance, and cutting performance. The blade opens with a smooth manual flipper action, aided by stainless steel caged bearings that provide reliable, quick deployment without sacrificing control.
The handle is built for strength and sophistication. A robust blue titanium framelock mechanism provides a secure lockup during use, while the front scale is made from “Dark Matter” Fat Carbon carbon fiber—an advanced composite known for its lightweight durability and eye-catching appearance. This combination of titanium and carbon fiber offers both toughness and refined aesthetics, making the Solstice as comfortable in an executive’s pocket as it is in a high-end gear collection.
Carrying the Solstice is just as effortless as using it. At only 1.7 ounces and 4.5 inches closed, it’s built for discreet everyday carry. The fold-over stainless steel deep-carry clip is fully ambidextrous and features concealed screw holes for a clean, minimal profile. Whether you’re right- or left-handed, the knife sits low and secure in the pocket, ready for action when needed.
The Solstice Damascus isn’t just a tool—it’s a statement piece, built with the same design language and mechanical precision as the original Solstice, but elevated with a Damascus blade and upgraded handle materials. Designed for those who appreciate understated luxury and functional excellence, it’s a knife that performs as well as it looks.
