Oknife XEN Ken Onion Damascus Rail Lock Folding Knife - 3.53" CPM-S45VN Blade Black DLC Handle

The OKnife XEN Damascus Carbon Fiber Rail Lock Folding Pocket Knife is a premium, limited-edition folder designed by legendary knifemaker Ken Onion. This striking model applies a modern twist to classic Damascus aesthetics by precision-machining layered carbon fiber handle scales to reveal a flowing, darkly shimmering "Damascus-style" pattern—lightweight, exceptionally strong, and grippy without the weight or maintenance of actual Damascus steel. Paired with a high-performance CPM-S45VN blade and OKnife's innovative Rail Lock mechanism, it delivers smooth, reliable operation in a sleek, tactical package for everyday carry, utility tasks, precision cutting, and collector appeal.
