Horizon Pocket Knife – Turquoise Inlay

Overview

The Horizon variant evokes clear skies and limitless travels. This pocket knife pairs a hand‑forged Damascus blade with an artisan‑crafted handle that features a refined turquoise inlay. The inlay is made from TruStone, a material where natural stone ores are crushed, pigmented and stabilized in acrylic resin. This process produces a composite that is vibrant and beautiful while also providing the strength and stability needed for a durable knife handle. Artisans hand‑set the turquoise into the handle and polish it to a jewel‑like brilliance, delivering the beauty of natural stone with the reliability to endure.

Key Features & Benefits

– Damascus steel blade – The Horizon knife features a hand‑forged blade made from layers of high‑carbon steel. Damascus steel maintains a sharp edge longer and allows a thinner profile, reducing cutting resistance. The blade’s patterned surface adds visual appeal while hinting at the craftsmanship beneath.

– Compact folding design – A secure locking mechanism keeps the blade firmly open during use and safely closed when stowed. One‑handed operation makes the knife easy to deploy, and its pocket‑friendly dimensions are ideal for everyday carry.

– Turquoise inlay handle – Each handle incorporates a TruStone turquoise inlay—natural stone pigments bound in resin—that is hand‑set into an ergonomic grip. TruStone is vibrant and beautiful yet also strong and stable, making it perfect for knife handle scales. When polished, the material mimics real gemstone and reveals luminous blue and green tones. This combination offers the jewel‑like look of turquoise with the durability needed for regular use. Slight variations in pattern and color mean every knife is unique.

– Ergonomic comfort – The handle shape is contoured to fit the natural curves of the hand. Balanced weight distribution reduces fatigue during extended use, and the smooth polish provides a secure yet comfortable grip.

– Built for adventure – Knives with turquoise accent handles are designed for collectors, outdoorsmen and everyday carry enthusiasts. The unique color tones provide rugged elegance without sacrificing performance in hunting, camping, bushcraft and daily tasks. Whether you’re opening packages or preparing food at camp, the Horizon knife delivers both function and style.

Craftsmanship & Design

Our bladesmiths forge each Damascus blade through repeated heating, folding and hammering to create a distinctive wave pattern. The turquoise inlay is then hand‑set into the handle and sanded flush. TruStone is made from crushed natural stone ore, pigments and stabilizing resin; it is durable but may be brittle at sharp corners, so artisans work slowly with sharp abrasives and sand to a high grit before buffing for a glossy finish. This meticulous process ensures the inlay’s edges are smooth and the colour vibrant. The result is a handle that evokes the brilliance of turquoise jewellery and feels smooth and warm in the hand.

Ergonomics & Balance

An ergonomic pocket knife should feel like an extension of your hand. The Horizon’s curved profile follows the natural contours of your grip, and the polished inlay surface offers a pleasant tactile feel. A steel bolster and full‑tang construction add strength without unnecessary bulk, creating a well‑balanced tool that’s comfortable to use for extended periods.

Care Instructions

1. Clean & dry promptly – Damascus steel can corrode if left wet. Hand wash the blade with mild soap, dry immediately and apply a thin coat of food‑safe mineral oil.

2. Handle care – While TruStone is durable, the inlay may be brittle at sharp corners. Avoid dropping or striking the handle on hard surfaces. If the surface appears dull, a light buff with a polishing cloth can restore its luster. Do not expose the knife to extreme heat or solvents, as they can damage the composite.

3. Store safely – Keep your knife in its sheath or a protective case when not in use. Avoid extended exposure to direct sunlight or extreme temperatures.

Responsible Use & Legal Considerations

Always follow local laws regarding pocket‑knife ownership and carry. Use this tool responsibly for everyday tasks and outdoor pursuits. Our knives are designed for utility and craftsmanship—not for harm.
