The Meteorite Damascus Pocket Knife and Eurofighter Pocket Knife were modeled and manufactured based on drawings and sample books that date back to 1932. These original designs were discovered at a 175 year old company located in Solingen, Germany. To make these particular knives, special tools from that era had to be reproduced and experienced blacksmiths were needed to manufacture these knives using the old techniques.

The plates for the blade of the Meteorite Damascus Pocket Knife are made from high quality, rare 320-layer torsion meteorite Damascus from the German blacksmith Markus Balbach, available exclusively through GASTON J. GLOCK style LP. The body of the knife is composed of two stamped brass liners, each having welded pins made of nickel silver, a back spring, a guard attached to the back spring and a connecting piece. The knife’s scales are made of stabilized buckeye burl, complementing the blade’s steely color. Completion of this pocket knife occurs after over 100 different steps have been performed. The knife is made of high quality materials, is extremely durable, retains the sharpness of its edges and is highly valuable. MSRP is $795.00.
