[Higo x Duncans] Brass VG10 Damascus Folder

Behold the Higo x Duncans Brass VG10 Damascus Folder, a stunning fusion of heritage and artistry that elevates the classic Higo design into a realm of breathtaking craftsmanship. Born from a collaboration between Higo’s timeless aesthetic and Duncans’ bold vision, this folder doesn’t just cut—it captivates, wrapping affordability in a package that’s as mesmerizing as it is practical.

What will catch your eye VG10 Damascus blade, a swirling tapestry of steel forged from Japan’s renowned VG10 core, layered into a Damascus pattern that dances with light and shadow. Unlike the stainless steel of its sibling, this blade melds exceptional sharpness with a hypnotic beauty—each ripple a testament to the smith’s skill, each edge honed to slice with precision. It’s a marriage of strength and elegance, grounded in the Higo tradition.

The brass handle glows with a rich, burnished warmth, its surface adorned with the classic kanji letters debossed in subtle reverence to its Japanese lineage. It sits heavy in the palm, a perfect counterweight to the blade, offering a grip that’s both commanding and comfortable. Flip it open with the Chikiri lever, that iconic nub of simplicity, and feel the friction folder’s soul—no lock to complicate, just the primal tension of metal on metal holding firm. A lanyard hole carves a quiet invitation, ready for a cord to loop it close, whether dangling from your gear or nestled in your pocket.

Packaged in one of Duncans’ rugged Hard Cases, this folder arrives like a treasure, shielded and showcased with a grit that matches its spirit. The Brass VG10 Damascus Folder is a statement, a bridge between past and present, crafted for those who desire not just a tool, but one that is beautiful.
