3" Lockback Damascus with Titanium Bolsters – Kingman Green-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

About Kingman Green-Blue Turquoise

Kingman Green-Blue Turquoise is one of our most popular materials, blending vivid blue and sea-green tones with an earthy natural matrix. Mined in the Mineral Park area of Arizona’s Cerbat Mountains, Kingman turquoise has a remarkable history: Indigenous peoples worked turquoise near Kingman by approximately A.D. 600, commercial mining began in the late 1880s, and the Colbaugh family has operated the mine since the early 1960s. Variations in brown, black, and golden matrix make every finished piece one of a kind.

Design Details

The vivid blue and sea-green tones of the Kingman Turquoise contrast beautifully with its earthy 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 history, natural color, and traditional lockback craftsmanship.

Classic lockback. Stainless Damascus. Santa Fe craftsmanship.
