Lightoller Damascus Steel EDC Folding Knife
Product Description
Born in 1874, Charles Lightoller was an able officer who was offered a position on the ill-fated Titanic. The night that the ship sank, Lightoller was in charge of half of the lifeboats and made sure that the women and children in his vicinity were saved. Just as the Titanic went under, Lightoller jumped free and managed to grab hold of a collapsible lifeboat, surviving until morning. For his heroism, Lightoller was awarded positions in the Royal Navy, eventually becoming a decorated officer due to war victories in World War I. He retired before World War II but when he heard of the disaster at Dunkirk, he volunteered to take his personal 35-seat watercraft and pilot it in an effort to save as many soldiers as possible. He made it there and was able to rescue 127 men. On the journey back to England, Lightoller evaded aircraft fire from enemy planes and was able to safely deliver those men home.
The Lightoller Damascus Folding Knife is named in honor of Charles Lightoller. This everyday carry folding knife is a great utility knife for small duty work, but don't underestimate it. The short Damascus blade is a great slicer. The ambidextrous design means it can be used by either a right-handed or left-handed person. The stainless steel liner has the liner-lock built in so it doesn't add any unnecessary bulk to the knife. With its beautiful Damascus bolster and rich Rosewood handle, unique folder will be a prized knife in your collection.

Damascus steel should be regularly oiled with any household oil over the course of its life to prevent corrosion.
