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 21 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 Herilock Large is the big brother of the original Herilock; bigger and better, the Herilock is a gentleman’s backlock knife, riddled with finesse, this beautiful. Its VG10 triple-clad Japanese Damascus blade, with intricate, wavy patterns, delivers a razor-sharp edge for precise cuts, opened smoothly via a nail-nick. The blade’s stainless core ensures durability and corrosion resistance, ideal for light tasks like opening letters or trimming cigars. Housed in a classy Duncans gift box, the Herilock is both a functional tool and a collectible treasure, perfect for gifting or display.


The handle features burl wood scales, each with unique, swirling grains, secured by brass rivets that add a warm, golden contrast. Stainless steel bolsters, liners, backspring, and backspacer create a sturdy, polished frame, with the backlock snapping firmly into place for secure operation and closing with a satisfying click. A lanyard hole in the rear bolster invites a custom cord for practicality and a personal touch. The knife’s balanced weight and smooth action make it a joy to carry and use.


The Herilock was designed primarily as a work tool; the elegance came naturally, the Herilock shines in refined settings, its materials evoking Seki’s legendary craftsmanship. The brass rivets may patina over time, adding character, while the stabilized burl wood resists wear with minimal care. The Herilock Large knife is a gentleman’s companion, marrying artistry with utility in a tool built to endure that begs to be admired.
