Marquis No. 5 is a one-of-one, hand-forged gentleman’s carry knife built for those who appreciate refined design backed by real craftsmanship. Forged from a ribbon-pattern Damascus billet of 1084 and 15N20, this blade balances elegance with purpose — slim, controlled, and made to be carried, not forgotten in a drawer.
The blade features a hollow grind for excellent slicing performance while maintaining strength where it matters. The guard, blade, pommel, and pommel nut are all hot blued, giving the knife a deep, classic finish that highlights the Damascus pattern without overpowering it.
The handle is a proven stacked construction of leather, brass, and black G10, compressed and secured over a threaded tang for zero movement and long-term durability. Brass pins run the length of the tang, reinforcing the layered handle and ensuring structural integrity.
