The Ocaso Knives Damascus Solstice Bronze Dark Matter is a refined expression of elite design, premium materials, and everyday functionality. Designed by the legendary Andrew Demko and made in Italy, this gentleman’s folder stands out with its artistic edge and ultralight performance. With its sophisticated bronze tones and mesmerizing Damascus blade, the Solstice isn’t just a tool—it’s an experience for those who value craftsmanship at every level.
At the center of the Solstice is a 3.5-inch straight back blade crafted from stunning Damascus steel. This steel not only offers the rich, layered beauty Damascus is known for, but also delivers excellent cutting performance and edge retention. The blade's profile provides clean slicing power with a strong, controllable tip, making it well-suited for both detail tasks and general utility. A smooth blade flipper allows for quick and intuitive manual opening, while the framelock mechanism keeps the blade reliably secure in use.
The handle construction elevates this folder into the realm of modern artistry. The front scale is made from bronze Dark Matter Fat Carbon, a unique composite material that blends metallic depth with swirling, organic texture. On the reverse side, a bronze titanium frame offers sleek strength without adding unnecessary weight. Despite its bold looks and robust materials, the Solstice weighs in at just 1.7 ounces, making it one of the lightest full-size knives in its class.
Every aspect of this knife reflects thoughtful design. It measures 4.3 inches closed and 7.8 inches overall, striking the perfect balance between comfort in hand and convenience in the pocket. The tip-up pocket clip ensures a discreet, secure carry, while the included black drawstring pouch and boxed presentation highlight its premium pedigree. Whether you’re carrying it to the office, a dinner engagement, or a weekend hike, the Damascus Solstice adapts with effortless style and purpose.
