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:

In the shadowed forge of innovation, where steel whispers secrets to the artisan's hammer, emerges the Hornfellow; a compact traditional folder from the ProForge lineage, clad in the armor of great craftsmanship and quality materials that demand respect without uttering a word.

The blade is born of ancient Japanese San-Mai alchemy: layers upon layers of steel folded like the pages of a forbidden tome, birthing hypnotic patterns that dance under light while fortifying its core against the chaos of the world. This drop-point edge, sleek and purposeful, beckons for everyday guardianship in your pocket, unfolding via a humble nail-nick with a whisper-smooth glide that culminates in a backlock as unyielding as a mountain's spine, delivering a crisp click upon deployment.

Cradling this masterpiece is a handle of wild horn scales, each one a fingerprint of nature's untamed artistry; grains swirling in chaotic beauty, ensuring your Hornfellow is a singular relic, never to be duplicated.

Bolstered by Damascus steel's intricate veils, it achieves a harmony of strength and poise, curving intuitively to nestle in your palm like an old ally's grip.

It arrives in regal splendor: encased in a magnetic Duncans Gift Box, accompanied by a leaflet of whispered wisdom for its care and a soft cloth to polish its eternal gleam. The Hornfellow is a great classic knife; it's a talisman of refined wilderness, ready to carve stories into the fabric of your adventures.
