The Trailwood — Handmade Damascus Steel Folding Pocket Knife with Green Pakkawood Handle, Brass Bolster & Leather Sheath

Handmade Damascus Steel Folding Pocket Knife with Green Pakkawood Handle, Brass Bolster & Leather Sheath

Named for where it belongs on the trail, in your pocket, ready for whatever the day brings. The Trailwood is a compact Damascus folding pocket knife built for everyday carry, camping trips, and anyone who wants a blade with real character in hand.

Every Trailwood blade is one of a kind. The wavy, layered Damascus pattern runs across the full face of the steel, the natural result of steel folded and forged, not stamped from a sheet. No two Trailwood knives share the exact same pattern.

The 3-inch clip point blade is hand-forged and holds a keen edge through everyday cutting tasks, from breaking down boxes to light fieldwork on the trail. It's set into a green Pakkawood handle, natural wood compressed and resin-stabilized under heat and pressure, so it resists moisture, cracking, and warping far better than raw wood. That means the Trailwood's rich green color and clean lines hold up carry after carry, trip after trip.

A polished stainless brass bolster caps the front of the handle for a clean, modern accent and a touch of forward balance, while brass pins hold the scales secure. The blade opens manually via a traditional nail-nick and locks solidly into place with a lockback mechanism no springs, no assisted opening, just a dependable manual design built to last.

Included: Genuine Oil-Dipped Leather Sheath
Every Trailwood ships with a hand-stitched sheath cut from genuine oil-dipped cowhide, closed with a secure snap. The oil treatment keeps the leather supple and moisture-resistant, ready to hold up to daily belt carry or a backpack side pocket.

Quality Assurance, Care & Maintenance

Every Trailwood blade is hand-forged and inspected before it ships, so the edge, lock, and handle fit are checked for quality prior to leaving our workshop.

• Wipe the blade dry after each use and apply a light coat of oil to the blade and pivot periodically, especially important for Damascus steel to prevent rust between the layers.
• The pakkawood handle needs minimal upkeep thanks to resin stabilization; an occasional wipe-down is enough.
• Condition the leather sheath occasionally with a quality leather conditioner.
• Avoid long-term storage of the blade inside the sheath, which can trap moisture against the steel.
