Steel Worth Carrying
Hand-forged Damascus folders, Ariat lockblades, and classic pocket knives — no two Damascus patterns alike. Find the blade below, then carry it for a lifetime.
Every Blade Has a Story
Long before a knife earns a place in our case, it earns our respect. For more than 150 years, the people of the Mid-Ohio Valley have trusted Schafer Leather for gear that works as hard as they do, and a good knife has always been part of that.
Our hand-forged Damascus folders are the pride of the case: layered steel worked into patterns that will never repeat, set into stag, horn, and wood handles cut from nature itself. Alongside them you’ll find Ariat lockblades built for the barn and the jobsite, and classic pocket knives like the ones your granddad carried.
Pick one up online, or come stand at the case in downtown Marietta and feel the difference a real blade makes.
One-of-a-kind steel, from our family to yours.
