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 ProForge Winterhorn is a distinguished gentleman's pocket knife that marries traditional craftsmanship with modern precision, designed for those who value elegance and functionality. Its standout feature is the authentic buffalo horn scales, each uniquely patterned with natural striations in deep blacks and warm browns, ensuring no two knives are alike. Paired with high-quality raindrop Damascus bolsters, the knife exudes a mesmerizing, water-like aesthetic, while the polished horn offers a luxurious, ergonomic grip. The stainless steel liners, backspacer, and Torx screws provide structural integrity and a contemporary touch, making the Winterhorn both a collector’s piece and a reliable everyday carry.


At its core, the Winterhorn features a razor-sharp VG10 Japanese Damascus Clip Point blade, also in a raindrop pattern, harmonizing with the bolsters for a cohesive design. This steel is renowned for exceptional edge retention and corrosion resistance. The blade is flat-ground for precision cutting, ideal for tasks from slicing to piercing. With a clip point blade profile  it's ready for almost any tasks, while the robust backlock mechanism engages with a positive, smooth action, ensuring secure operation. This combination of premium materials and engineering makes the Winterhorn versatile for the workplace and rugged environments.


Crafted for gentlemen collectors, EDC enthusiasts, and outdoor aficionados, the ProForge Winterhorn is a testament to artisanal knifemaking. Its unique handle patterns and limited-production nature enhance its collectibility, while the durable, low-maintenance materials ensure longevity with proper care. It's compact when closed and fits the hand great when open making it perfect for pocket carry or display. Whether used for daily tasks, gifted as an heirloom, or admired for its beauty, the Winterhorn embodies sophistication, individuality, and timeless craftsmanship.
