Damascus Steel Rewards A Little Extra Care

• Use these items appropriately. Avoid using them as a pry bar, can opener, etc.
• Hand wash only with mild soap – never put a Damascus blade in the dishwasher.
• Dry thoroughly after each use, including around the guard and handle. Pay attention to the spine and edge.
• While not in use, keep items clean and dry to prevent contamination & rust.
• Oil the blade lightly before storage, especially in humid climates or if the knife won’t be used for a while.
• Store in a dry place. For long-term storage, keep the knife out of the sheath or make sure the sheath is completely dry.
• Surface rust can be wiped off with a vinegar and lime mixture, followed by recoating with oil for long-lasting rust prevention.
• Do not scrub with steel wool; wipe and rub in the direction of Damascus patterns for cleaning.
• Sharpen on quality stones or a guided system and hone regularly to maintain a keen edge.

With simple care, your DLH 1106 will stay sharp, rust-resistant, and visually striking for years to come.

Crafted in Wazirabad — Damascus Heritage in Your Pocket

Each DLH 1106 is made in Wazirabad, Pakistan, a long-standing center of forged blades and Damascus steel work. Small-batch forging, hand grinding, and careful fit-and-finish give this knife character that mass-produced folders simply don’t have.

You’re not buying a stamped, anonymous pocket knife. You’re carrying a piece of living metalwork that has passed through a real smith’s hands.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: Is DLH 1106 suitable for everyday carry (EDC)?

A: Yes. At about 7.25" open and 4" closed, DLH 1106 is sized specifically as an EDC Damascus pocket knife — compact enough to carry daily, with a blade long enough for real tasks.

Q2: What kind of steel and pattern does the blade use?

A: The blade is forged from 1095 & 15N20 high-carbon Damascus in a random / swirl “waterfall” pattern. The pattern is part of the steel itself, not printed or etched on top.

Q3: Is the Damascus pattern going to wear off?

A: No. The pattern is created by folding and layering steels during forging. With proper care (hand wash, dry, light oil), the pattern will remain visible for years, even with regular use.

Q4: Does the knife lock open?

A: Yes. DLH 1106 uses a liner-lock mechanism. When the blade is opened fully, the liner engages the tang to lock it in place until you manually release it.

Q5: Does it come with a sheath or just a pocket clip?

A: Every DLH 1106 includes a hand-stitched leather belt pouch so you can carry it on your belt or keep it protected in a bag. You can also carry it folded in a pocket.

Q6: Is this knife mass-produced?

A: No. DLH 1106 is made in small batches by bladesmiths in Wazirabad. Damascus patterning and resin color swirls vary from knife to knife, so each piece is unique.

Q7: How should I care for a Damascus folding knife?

A: Hand wash, dry completely, and apply a thin coat of oil to the blade before long-term storage. Avoid dishwashers and prolonged moisture. Keep the pivot lightly oiled for smooth action.
