Hemingway Damascus Steel Folding Knife

Hemingway Damascus Steel Folding Knife

This knife draws its inspiration from the rugged life of Ernest Hemingway—journalist, novelist, hunter, and all-around adventurer. It’s a tribute to a man who didn’t just write stories, he lived them.

From covering the front lines of the Spanish Civil War and WWII to surviving two plane crashes and writing late into the night in Key Largo or Havana with a bourbon in hand—Hemingway lived boldly. This blade carries that same spirit: resilient, purposeful, and unapologetically tough.

Made for the Adventurer at Heart

This knife isn’t just named after Ernest Hemingway—it’s something we imagine he might’ve actually carried. Whether he was cutting line on a fishing boat or slicing up a lime for a gin and tonic, this compact pocket knife fits right into that picture. It’s small enough to carry every day, but tough enough for real work.

The 3" blade handles everyday tasks with ease, and the stained bone and brass scales give it a classic, rugged look. The lockback mechanism keeps things secure while you're using it, and it comes with a handmade leather sheath that slides right onto your belt. It's a knife that feels like more than just a tool—it's a quiet nod to a life well lived.

A Quick Note

Every knife we make is handcrafted using natural materials, so no two are exactly alike. That means the color, grain, or Damascus pattern on your knife might look a little different from the photos—but that’s part of the charm. What won’t vary is the care and craftsmanship we put into every single piece. You’ll get a knife made with the same level of detail and pride as the one we show off here.

About the Sheath

Please note: the sheath you get might look a little different from the one in the photos—colors, stitching, or style may vary slightly. If you have any questions or want to know exactly what to expect, feel free to reach out to our customer service team—we’re happy to help.

Care Tips

This knife is made with 1095 high-carbon steel, which means it’s tough and holds a great edge—but it can rust if not cared for properly. After each use, wash it by hand with hot water and a bit of soap (no dishwashers!). Dry it off completely, then apply a light coat of oil to protect the blade. A little upkeep goes a long way in keeping your knife looking sharp and lasting for years.
