The Quintessential knife Collection of traditional gentleman’s backlock knives is a curated masterpiece that celebrates the artistry, heritage, and elegance of finely crafted blades, with a focus on luxurious materials like buffalo horn, Damascus steel, and stag antler.

This collection, comprising of 29 meticulously selected pieces, showcases compact, pocketable lockback knives (3-4 inches closed) designed for both practical everyday carry and refined aesthetic appeal, perfectly complementing formal attire. Each knife is a harmonious blend of artistry and practicality, featuring sleek clip-point and drop-point Damascus blades with mesmerizing wave-like patterns, paired with handles of polished buffalo horn for its deep, glossy warmth or stag antler for its rugged, naturally textured individuality.

Accents like nickel silver or damascus bolsters, intricate filework, and occasional abalone seashell inlays elevate the knives to heirloom status. The collection draws from iconic makers like Case XX, Boker Solingen, and Great Eastern Cutlery, alongside custom artisans such as Tony Bose, reflecting American, European, and bespoke traditions. Each blade in the collection is honed to a razor sharp edge by hand in Duncans Studio and maintained with care to preserve the luster of organic materials and the sharpness of the blades.

This assemblage, is not merely a set of tools but a testament to centuries of cutlery tradition, connecting the owner to the legacy of skilled artisans while embodying sophistication and timeless beauty. Specially curated by Alistair Cromwell.

 Description: 

The Takoda Siren has been designed primarily to be a compact, gentlemans knife. A testament to the seamless blend of ancient forging techniques and nature’s own artistry. Its form is dominated by Damascus steel, where layers upon layers of steel ripple into wave-like patterns that catch the light and the imagination. The drop point blade, chosen for its excellent slicing capability, is hewn from Japanese VG10 triple clad Damascus; a rare alchemy that fuses VG10’s enduring sharpness with the hypnotic allure of Damascus swirls for the ultimate grade of steel. Each curve and contour of the blade tells a silent tale of craftsmanship, a visual symphony etched in steel.


The handle, however, steals the spotlight with its abalone inlay. This slice of seashell shimmers with an iridescent glow, scattering light in a kaleidoscope of colors that shift with every angle. Far from a mere embellishment, it anchors the design, marrying the cool strength of steel with the organic warmth of the ocean’s depths. It’s a detail that demands attention, a quiet rebellion against the ordinary with the bonus of each inlay being unique to every knife.


Look closer, and the Takoda Siren reveals even more. The backspacer bears decorative filing, a delicate trail of artistry that stretches toward the lock, testifying the old masters patience. The blade, too, carries intricate file work, its surface textured with patterns that invite scrutiny and touch while providing extra grip. These flourishes elevate the knife, and really give it a unique touch rarely seen in knives; usually makers skip steps like this to save time, but in this case we have gone the extra mile!


At its core lies a backlock mechanism, unyielding and sure. It snaps the blade into place with a sound that resonates like a promise, strength you can feel, reliability you can trust. This is where the Takoda Siren proves its mettle, proving its a foundation built for action, not just looks.


Encased in a small Duncans gift box, it arrives ready for gifting, offering a curated experience; perfect to captivate a collector or grace a gift with distinction. The Takoda Siren is a harmony of elements: the layered steel, the radiant abalone, the painstaking details. Together, they create something extraordinary, a piece that speaks of skill, vision, and the quiet power of creation.
