The BOKER MAGNUM Magnum Damast Lord Knife — folding pocket knife with Damascus-style blade, model 01MB790DAM is a compact folding pocket knife designed for everyday carry and a variety of general-purpose cutting tasks. It features a patterned Damascus-style blade surface and a practical folding mechanism that keeps the blade protected when not in use. The design balances a decorative patterned blade appearance with functional handling for routine outdoor, craft, and household cutting jobs.
Advantages
The knife combines a visually patterned Damascus-style blade with a foldable, pocket-friendly form factor, offering a blend of aesthetic appeal and practical portability. Its locking and folding mechanism provides safe storage and quick access, while the blade profile and edge geometry are suitable for controlled cutting tasks. The compact size and moderate weight make it convenient for everyday carry without sacrificing the tactile feel of a traditionally styled blade.
Suitable for
- Everyday carry (EDC) for general cutting tasks
- Outdoor activities such as camping, hiking, and light bushcraft
- Crafts and hobby work requiring precise, controlled cuts
- Household tasks like opening packages, cutting cordage, and food prep
When it may not be suitable
This folding pocket knife is not intended for heavy-duty chopping, prying, or industrial use where a fixed-blade tool would be more appropriate. Its patterned Damascus-style blade is designed primarily for appearance and standard cutting performance rather than for specialized applications such as hard-edge retention under extreme stress or heavy impact tasks.

How to use
