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.

The ProForge Sinister in Black Micarta is an elegantly crafted folding knife designed for everyday carry (EDC) with a focus on both aesthetics and functionality. It boasts a stunning 67-layer Damascus san mai blade, which provides exceptional sharpness, durability, and a unique patterned appearance. The handle features pitch-black Micarta scales, offering a comfortable, grippy texture that's resistant to wear and moisture, paired with all-stainless hardware for a sophisticated and subtle overall look.

It's using a linerlock mechanism, ensuring secure blade deployment and closure, while the included pocket clip allows for convenient tip-up or tip-down carry in your pocket. This knife excels in daily tasks, proving more than capable for cutting, slicing, or general utility work. It operates smoothly on Teflon washers for effortless action and can be easily opened one-handed via the thumb stud. Adding to its premium feel is a decorated backspacer, which enhances the knife's visual appeal and structural integrity without adding unnecessary weight. Overall, it's a reliable, high-quality option for knife lovers seeking style and performance.
