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 Buffalo Stature is a timeless lockback knife; a gentlemans knife that delivers perfectly on a rugged, durable frame built for abuse.

Its handle, crafted from richly textured jigged buffalo horn scales, is securely anchored to a robust stainless steel frame with gleaming brass rivets. The intricate jigging not only enhances the knife’s visual allure but also provides a superior, non-slip grip, ensuring confident handling in any condition. Flanking the dark, organic beauty of the buffalo horn are lightly polished stainless steel bolsters, their bright, reflective surfaces creating a striking contrast that elevates the knife’s sophisticated aesthetic.


At the heart of the Buffalo Stature lies a 3Cr13MoV stainless steel clip point blade, known for its durability, excellent corrosion resistance, and ease of sharpening. Opened smoothly via a traditional nail nick (easy to use with gloves), the blade’s versatile shape excels in precision tasks and everyday cutting.

The lockback mechanism delivers secure, dependable performance, snapping into place with a satisfying click. With its blend of classic materials, thoughtful craftsmanship, and practical design, the Buffalo Stature is a distinguished companion for collectors and workman alike, embodying the enduring spirit of traditional knife-making.
