Joe Pardue Abalone Damascus

Joe Pardue Custom Knife Abalone and Damascus Linerlock

A Legacy Forged in Steel

Joe Pardue isn’t just another custom knifemaker—he’s the son of the late Mel Pardue, a legend in American knife design. That legacy shows up in every line, every curve, and every cut of this Joe Pardue Custom Knife Abalone and Damascus Linerlock. It’s not just pretty; it’s built to be used. Joe’s ethos is clear: a knife should feel like a natural extension of your hand. This compact folder, just shy of 16 cm overall, balances striking materials with rugged purpose.

Damascus Meets Abalone

The blade steals attention with its rich, patterned Damascus steel—each ripple a story in steel, each edge honed for real work. Yet it’s the handle that stops people in their tracks. Damascus bolsters flow into genuine abalone scales, catching the light with every movement. It’s an elegant, tactile contrast that somehow still feels grounded. No pocket clip, no sheath—just a clean, functional linerlock design that keeps things simple and tight.

It's got just enough flash to turn heads, and all the guts you'd expect from a Pardue. There’s no fluff here—just a solid, American-made tool with a bit of style.
