SHOP CASE KNIVESThe Szco Fileworked Damascus Stag is a timeless blend of artistry and function, built to serve as both a dependable everyday carry pocket knife and a piece of craftsmanship that’ll stand out in any collection. It brings together traditional materials, detailed finishing, and reliable performance in a knife that feels as good in your hand as it looks on display.
At the heart of this folding knife is a striking 2.87-inch clip point blade crafted from genuine Damascus steel. With its unique wave-like patterning and proven durability, Damascus isn’t just beautiful—it’s tough, sharp, and built to perform. The clip point shape adds a level of versatility and control that makes this knife just as capable of slicing clean lines as it is of piercing with precision. Whether you’re opening boxes, trimming cord, or tending to finer daily tasks, this blade handles them with ease.
A right-hand nail nick offers simple, traditional blade deployment, while the solid lockback mechanism keeps everything secure during use. Once open, you’ll appreciate how tightly everything locks into place, giving you peace of mind when you need to put the knife to work. It’s a design that’s proven over generations and continues to be trusted for its strength and simplicity.
What truly elevates this knife is its handle. Made from genuine stag, every piece carries its own natural character and texture, offering a comfortable, non-slip grip and a rugged elegance that only improves with age. The brass liners, pins, and bolster provide a warm contrast to the organic handle scales, adding a touch of refinement and vintage charm. There’s a tactile satisfaction in every detail, from the subtle grooves of the fileworked spine to the smooth transitions between the materials.
The 3.75-inch closed length makes it pocket-friendly without being too small to use effectively, while the 6.62-inch overall length gives it the presence and utility of a full-function pocket knife. At 4.8 ounces, it’s got enough weight to feel solid and dependable without slowing you down. The .11-inch blade thickness gives it enough strength for real work while still maintaining a fine edge.
A lanyard hole at the rear of the handle gives you the option to secure it or dress it up with a custom fob or leather tie, adding both function and flair. Whether you’re a collector drawn to Damascus steel or a practical user looking for a knife with timeless materials and dependable construction, this knife offers something special.
