Overview
This traditional Hungarian folding knife features a mokume-gane base and hardware, complemented by a handle crafted from mammoth tusk. The blade and spring are made from Hakkapella on Damacore, sourced from Damasteel steel labs, resulting in a truly unique composition.
Important: Due to the stop pin less design of the knife, the blade needs to be escorted back to the closed position. Slamming the blade may damage the knife.
The Maskara pocket knife most likely originates from the Transdanubian region. For a long time, it was even called the "Transdanubian knife" in the Great Hungarian Plain. This popular design emerged as early as the 1800s and was widely used across the country.
In Tolna County, the word "maskara" was often used as a synonym for something special, festive, or decorative. It is possible that the knife got its name from this, given that people were previously accustomed to simpler, more austere knives.
Its widespread popularity is due to its refined, bold yet harmonious design, making it highly versatile. The broad, sturdy blade and its ergonomically designed handle, which complements it beautifully, convey strength. It is a highly durable model, suitable for almost anything.
In addition to its functionality, it also features elegant lines, making it an attractive and striking piece. The end of the handle is slightly curved, and the clipped portion of the blade's spine has a graceful arc.
Damasteel clip point blade with nail nick, mokume body with mammoth inlays. Comes in a pouch. Excellent condition.
