Dead Samurai Shadow Warrior – Artistic pocket knife for collectors

This striking pocket knife combines Japanese art with everyday functionality. With a blade length of 8.9 cm and a beautiful Damascus pattern, this knife is both a practical tool and a collector’s item. The 3Cr13 steel blade features a practical droppoint shape, perfect for all-round use.

Experience from the Shogun team

During a camping weekend, the Damascus pattern immediately stood out by the campfire. The knife opens smoothly thanks to the assisted mechanism, although we noticed that the heavier handle can become a bit tiring during prolonged cutting tasks.

Performance and sharpness of this pocket knife

The 3Cr13 steel with Damascus pattern is razor-sharp straight out of the box. This stainless steel cuts effortlessly through rope, cardboard, and food. The droppoint shape with plain-edge grind offers good control for precision work. The steel does require regular maintenance to remain optimally sharp.

Grip and ease of use

The artistic stainless steel handle sits firmly in the hand despite the extra weight. The linerlock works reliably and the automatic (switchblade) opening mechanism allows for one-handed operation. Please note: check local legislation regarding automatic knives.

Who is this pocket knife suitable for?

Perfect for collectors of Japanese art and culture who also want a functional knife. Suitable for EDC use by enthusiasts of eye-catching designs. For intensive outdoor knife use, there are lighter alternatives that are more practical in the field.

Maintenance and durability

The 3Cr13 steel is reasonably corrosion-resistant but requires regular maintenance. Keep the knife dry and oil it monthly. The Damascus pattern remains beautiful with proper use. The blade finish may develop minor scratches with intensive use, which adds to its character.
