NEWS – Swiss Army knives are a popular stable of many an EDC gear collection, but the new Swiss Champ Damast Limited Edition 2021 multi-tool knife from Victorinox ratchets things up a few levels because this SA knife features black forged carbon scales and a Damascus blade. What is a Damascus blade? Damascus blades are made by a process of folding and hammering steel over and over as it’s being forged to create a distinct wavy pattern that not only looks super cool, but it makes the blade harder too.
The Swiss Champ Damast has 29 tools (listed below) and only 6000 of these limited-edition knives were handcrafted in Switzerland. This knife is priced at $400 and is available directly through swissarmy.com
