[Duncans EliteForge] Ethereon, 20CV, Zirconium

The Ethereon. A marvel of engineering and artistry, a piece so intricately designed it feels as though it was brought back from a thousand years into the future. Over-engineered to perfection, this lock knife stands as one of the most extraordinary creations in the world of blades.

Inspired by Greek mythology, the name Ethereon comes from the word Ethereal- representing symbols heavenly, spiritual, otherworldly, refined, exquisite.

At first glance, the Ethereon’s breathtaking beauty might make you hesitate to use it, but this aesthetic excellence is matched by its functionality and performance. Crafted from the finest materials, Zirconium, Diamond-Like Carbon coatings, and aerospace-grade Titanium, the Ethereon’s blade options—either CPM 20-CV Supersteel or S90V Supersteel—deliver unparalleled sharpness, toughness, and edge retention. Its modified Dao-style blade deploys effortlessly via a flipper mechanism, gliding on precision-engineered ceramic ball bearings. When deployed, the blade locks into place flawlessly with a meticulously crafted liner lock, that is built seamlessly into the titanium frame.

Every detail of the Ethereon has been designed and executed with uncompromising precision. Blade lockup, blade play, and blade centering have been refined to perfection. If you can look beyond its captivating design long enough to inspect it, you WILL NOT find a single flaw.

One of the most distinctive features of the Ethereon is its sleek, screwless exterior design. This innovation gives the knife its futuristic aesthetic while maintaining practical functionality. The absence of a backspacer creates a near-integral construction, while disassembly is ingeniously simple: the tungsten carbide glass breaker and pivot adjustment screw can be removed to access every component of the knife.

The blade itself is a triumph of material science and craftsmanship. Painstakingly optimized for peak performance, it is finished and sharpened to achieve a razor-sharp, hair-popping edge that’s ready for any challenge.

Whether displayed as a collector’s centerpiece or used as a tool of unmatched performance, the Ethereon is in a class of its own. The nicest knife, and most ambitious project we have undertaken yet. It’s more than just a knife—it’s a testament to what’s possible when craftsmanship, innovation, and passion come together. The Ethereon isn’t just admired; it’s unstoppable.
