Skelton Bladeworks Scaphoid Damascus Mountain Ash

The Skelton Bladeworks Scaphoid Damascus Mountain Ash is a high-end custom fixed blade that blends elite materials, striking design, and precision craftsmanship. Built for collectors and serious users alike, this knife is a fine example of American blade-making done right. With its compact profile and premium construction, the Scaphoid offers both visual impact and practical performance in a well-balanced tool.

At the heart of this knife is a 4-inch tanto blade made from Chad Nichols blackout Damascus steel. Known for its bold, layered patterning and exceptional edge performance, this Damascus is more than just eye candy—it’s a serious cutting steel. The blackout treatment enhances the dramatic look while adding an extra layer of corrosion resistance. The tanto profile offers a reinforced tip for piercing and a strong secondary edge for slicing, making it well-suited for both utility and defensive roles.

The full tang construction ensures strength throughout, giving the blade the backbone it needs for heavy tasks. The handle is fitted with Tasmanian Mountain Ash, a rich-toned hardwood known for its durability and natural beauty. It’s secured with a double bolt attachment system, adding strength and visual balance to the handle design. The handle scales are shaped for comfort and control, providing a solid grip without unnecessary bulk.

At 7.5 inches overall and weighing just 3.77 ounces, the Scaphoid is lightweight and nimble, easy to carry and quick to deploy. Whether on your belt or in a pack, it’s a compact tool that won’t slow you down. The included black leather sheath features a belt loop for convenient carry and a clean, classic presentation. A Certificate of Authenticity comes with the knife, confirming its custom origins and quality pedigree.

Proudly made in the USA, the Skelton Bladeworks Scaphoid Damascus Mountain Ash is a one-of-a-kind piece that reflects the attention to detail and skilled craftsmanship behind every custom build.
