3" Lockback Damascus with Titanium Bolsters – Kingman Blue Turquoise

The 3" Lockback has been one of Santa Fe Stoneworks’ best-selling designs since the 1980s. Designed by renowned knife designer Phil Gibbs, this historic model combines compact proportions, dependable performance, and timeless style in a pocketknife made for everyday carry. Although its engineering and manufacturing have evolved over the decades, the original concept remains unchanged: a refined, reliable knife designed to be used, appreciated, and passed from one generation to the next.

This premium version features a precision CNC-machined stainless-steel frame and a 110-layer stainless Damascus blade with a distinctive Small Rose pattern. Textured titanium bolsters provide a modern contrast to the traditional lockback design, while brass washers support smooth, consistent operation.

Its excellent “walk and talk” action produces a crisp snap as the blade locks securely open and returns firmly to the closed position. The blade is digitally precision-ground and finished with a razor-sharp edge.

About the Blade Steel

110-Layer N690 and 440C Stainless Damascus — Small Rose Pattern

This stainless Damascus blade is forged from 110 alternating layers of N690 and 440C stainless steels, creating the compact, swirling Small Rose pattern. The combination provides excellent edge retention, corrosion resistance, hardness, and durability. Vacuum heat treatment and a working hardness of approximately 59–60 HRC support dependable cutting performance, while the layered construction gives every blade a distinctive appearance.

About Kingman Blue Turquoise

Kingman Blue Turquoise features the strong, vivid blue color for which the Kingman Mine is celebrated, sometimes accompanied by subtle traces of green and a natural brown, black, or golden matrix. It comes from the Mineral Park area of Arizona’s Cerbat Mountains, where turquoise has been worked for centuries. Individual variations in color and matrix give every finished piece its own distinctive character.

Design Details

The strong, vivid blue tones of the Kingman Turquoise contrast beautifully with its natural matrix and the textured titanium bolsters. The compact, swirling Small Rose pattern of the stainless Damascus blade completes the design, creating a refined balance of Southwestern heritage, natural color, and traditional lockback craftsmanship.
