Blade Craftsmanship

Layered Damascus Steel With Character in Every Pattern

The Volver uses a 1095 and 15N20 Damascus steel combination, creating the layered pattern that gives each blade its distinctive character.

Its compact folding format makes it practical for everyday carry, outdoor use, collecting, or gifting without losing the handmade character that defines Shokunin USA knives.

Handle Detail

Natural Olive Burl Meets Resin for a Handle That Stands Apart

Olive burl wood brings natural figuring while resin adds contrast and depth. The result is a handle with individual character rather than a mass-produced identical finish.

The folding lock mechanism keeps the knife compact while preserving a substantial in-hand feel.
