[Duncans EliteForge] Grandmaster Key, VG10 Japan, Copper Carbon

The Grandmaster Key, named for the specially cut handle design, is a breathtaking testament to EliteForge’s artistry, offering traditional materials with cutting-edge design. Its copper infused carbon fibre scales, precision cut to interlock like a master key with high-grade Damascus bolsters, create a stunning visual harmony that captures the eye and soul. The super-fine, ripple-patterned Damascus flows seamlessly from bolster to the VG10 Japanese Damascus clip-point blade, a masterpiece with a generous belly for sweeping cuts, deployed with silken ease via a finely tuned flipper tab on ball bearings. Every detail; detent, blade centering and balance has been rigorously tested, ensuring a flawless experience.

 

 

Built on a stonewashed stainless steel frame, the Grandmaster Key delivers on durability and opulence, its rosewood scales secured by robust Torx screws. A decorative stainless steel backspacer, complete with an integrated lanyard hole and supple leather lanyard, adds rustic charm and practical flair. Presented in an EliteForge magnetic box with a velvet pouch, care leaflet and cleaning cloth, the Acero is a great introduction into the EliteForge series that more than holds its own. A knife that invites you to carve your legacy with unmatched style and precision.
