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:

Dear Esteemed Gentleman,


In a world of fleeting trends and disposable wares, the Taurus Prestige stands as a beacon of timeless tradition, crafted for the man who values heritage, craftsmanship, and unwavering quality. This knife is an essential companion for the gentleman who carries himself with dignity and purpose.


Picture the moment your hand closes around the Taurus Prestige. Its rich, unique-to-each-knife ox horn scales, polished to a nice sheen, some with rich whites, and others with deep yellow. The ox horns natural grain, unique to each piece, evokes the beauty of nature, a fitting emblem for a man of character. Complimenting these scales are bold Damascus bolsters, their intricate, swirling patterns forged from layers of molten steel—a testament to the artistry of the bladesmith’s craft, reserved for those who appreciate the finer things.


At its core, the Taurus Prestige boasts a commanding Damascus clip point blade, in this case enhanced with our highest grade damast, its mesmerizing, raindrop layers gleaming with both beauty and resolve. This is a blade that carries artistry, its tapered precision ready to handle tasks with the same grace you bring to your daily endeavors. Sized for the larger hand, its substantial yet balanced heft feels like an extension of your will, crafted to serve with confidence and poise.


The experience of wielding this knife is nothing short of extraordinary. Open it, and a resonant click announces the blade’s secure lock—a sound as satisfying as a well-struck gavel, signaling reliability you can trust. Close it, and the action is smooth, snappy, and effortless, a reflection of the meticulous engineering beneath its polished surface. The gleaming stainless steel liners, subtly silver, add a touch of understated sophistication, ensuring every detail aligns with your discerning standards.


The Taurus Prestige is a statement of your values. It is the knife you carry to the boardroom, the countryside, or the fireside, knowing it will perform as impeccably as you do. Masterfully crafted and perfectly engineered, it is designed to be passed down through generations, a legacy of your refined taste.


For the traditional gentleman who seeks a blend of elegance, utility, and enduring craftsmanship, the Taurus Prestige is not just a choice—it is a calling. Make it yours today, and carry forward the tradition of excellence.


Yours in distinction,
The Taurus Prestige
