This Damascus ring handle knife set gives you two matched knives with the same forged wave pattern blade in two distinct handle options. Each knife measures 8 inches overall with a 4-inch blade and a 4-inch handle. One knife features a cream bone-pattern resin handle. The other features a green malachite-style resin handle. Both handles are fitted with silver pins and a large steel retention ring at the top. A leather sheath is included with the set.
This is the only Damascus ring handle knife set at JW Steel Crafts with bone pattern and green resin handle options in one matched 2-knife configuration.
The History Behind This Blade
During the Ottoman Empire, elite cavalry soldiers carried compact ring-handle daggers as their secondary field blade. The ring at the top of the handle locked the knife into the grip during mounted combat and heavy outdoor work — no strap needed, no risk of losing the blade mid-task. That ring retention design survived centuries of field use and remains the most secure grip system on a compact utility knife. The JW Steel Crafts Damascus ring handle set carries that same grip logic into every outdoor task today.
What Is Inside the Set
Knife 1: Wave pattern Damascus blade with cream bone-pattern resin handle and silver pins.
Knife 2: Wave pattern Damascus blade with green malachite-style resin handle and silver pins
Both knives share the same blade geometry, overall length, and full tang construction. The handles differ in color and pattern only.
Blade Performance
Both blades are forged from layered Damascus steel in a wave pattern finish. The layering process builds consistent edge retention and cutting strength through repeated outdoor and daily use. The 4-inch drop-point blade handles field dressing, carving, camp prep, and utility cutting tasks with precise control. Full tang construction runs through every handle and spreads weight evenly from blade tip to ring base for stable and controlled cutting on every stroke.
Handle and Ring Construction
The bone-pattern resin handle has a cream surface with dark crackle-style grain that mimics natural bone. The green resin handle carries a deep malachite-style swirl pattern. Both materials resist moisture, do not swell or crack, and hold their surface finish through heavy outdoor use. Silver pins lock both handle scales firmly to the full tang on each knife. The large steel retention ring at the top of each handle locks the knife into your grip during heavy tasks. It also allows lanyard attachment for secure carry or wall display.
Leather Sheath
The leather sheath protects both blades during storage and transport. It is designed for belt carry during hunting, camping, and outdoor use.
