Sir Edmund Elite Damascus Steel Knife

Sir Edmund Damascus Steel Knife

Sir Edmund Hillary didn’t set out to become a legend—he just kept moving forward. Born in New Zealand to a humble family, he went on to achieve what few could imagine: reaching the North Pole, South Pole, and the summit of Mount Everest. But beyond the accolades, Hillary was a quiet force—part climber, part soldier, and a lifelong humanitarian. His story isn’t just one of adventure, but of purpose, humility, and service.

This knife pays tribute to that journey.

The Sir Edmund Damascus Steel Knife captures the essence of a life well lived. The white bone handle? A nod to the snowy slopes of Everest. The slim walnut inlay set against polished stainless steel reflects his years of service in the New Zealand Air Force. And that swirling Damascus blade—fluid and unpredictable—mirrors his compassion and unshakable spirit.

Every detail in this knife was designed to tell a story. Not just of a man who climbed mountains—but of someone who lifted others as he climbed.

Specs That Matter:

• Total Length: 9.25 inches
• Handle: 4.5 inches of Camel Bone & Walnut — strong, smooth, and made to last
• Blade: 4.75 inches of 264-layer Damascus steel (1095/15n20), built for both elegance and edge
• Thickness: 4mm — hefty enough to feel solid, but agile in your hand
• Edge Grind: Secondary bevel for a sharper, more precise cut
• Extras: Comes with a full-grain leather sheath and a solid wood box — because a knife like this deserves more than a drawer

Crafted, Not Produced

This isn’t a knife churned out by machines. It’s handmade from real, natural materials — so no two are ever exactly the same. You might notice differences in the grain, the handle color, or the way the Damascus pattern catches the light. That’s the point. Each piece is one-of-a-kind, just like the man it honors.

A Sheath with Personality

We include a premium sheath with every knife — but here’s the thing: they’re all a little different. Some might vary in style or leather tone. If you have specific requests or questions, just reach out. We’re happy to help you get the right fit.

Care It Deserves

Damascus steel is beautiful — but it asks for a little care in return. After each use, dry it thoroughly and rub on a light coat of oil. Don’t toss it in the dishwasher. A quick hand wash with warm water and soap will do the trick. Keep it dry and it’ll serve you well for a lifetime.
