- Guile Black Canvas Micarta, Damascus - an elegant EDC folding knife designed by Shawn Ashmore. Blade made of Damascus steel and textured Micarta handle provide a modern look and high functionality for everyday use.

This product is intended for use only by adults with knowledge and experience in handling sharp cutting tools. Improper use of the knife can result in serious injuries. The blade is extremely sharp and can easily cut through skin and tissue; therefore, extra caution should always be exercised while cutting, and hands should be kept away from the cutting edge. To prevent the knife from slipping, it is recommended to cut on a stable, non-slip surface and avoid excessive force, which may cause uncontrolled blade movement.
Leaving the knife on the edge of a table, countertop, or in easily accessible places—especially where children are present—poses a significant safety risk. The knife should always be properly secured after use, ideally by placing it on a stable surface or storing it in designated knife blocks, protective sheaths, or magnetic strips. The knife should never be used for tasks it is not designed for, such as opening cans or prying objects, as this can damage the tool and lead to dangerous accidents.
A dull blade increases the risk of injury, as it requires more force and is more likely to slip from the material being cut. Therefore, it is essential to sharpen the knife regularly to maintain optimal sharpness. Additionally, proper cleaning and drying of the knife are necessary to prevent corrosion and bacterial growth. Periodic inspection of the handle and blade is recommended to check for cracks, chips, or looseness. If any damage is detected, the knife should be repaired or replaced immediately.
When using the knife, focus solely on the task at hand—avoid talking on the phone, watching television, or other distractions while cutting. Ensure proper lighting in the workspace for better visibility and control. Please note that some countries or regions have laws restricting the ownership and carrying of knives. Before purchasing or using this knife, verify that its use is legal in your location according to applicable regulations.
Following these safety guidelines will help ensure safe and effective knife use, minimizing the risk of accidents and extending the lifespan of the tool.
Guile Black Canvas Micarta, Damascus is the result of a collaboration with designer Shawn Ashmor, a well-known TV actor and talented designer with a penchant for simple, technical forms with a high degree of utility. In this minimalist folder you will find the essence of an approach in which form follows function - without excess ornamentation, instead with a full focus on ergonomics and design details. Guile was created as an everyday tool with clean lines that will find its way into both the pocket of the urban user and the off-roader's gear. The blade is made of 14C28N, a stainless steel valued for its corrosion resistance, easy maintenance and good edge retention. The Wharncliffe profile and flat grind promote precise cuts, while the black stonewashed finish adds a raw, tactical feel to the blade, while effectively masking scratches from daily use. Handle grips based on steel liners and G10 composite grips offer low weight and sturdiness. Subtle texturing improves the grip, and the deep carry clip allows for convenient, discreet carrying. The user has two opening methods at his disposal: a front flipper and a cutout in the Blade, which increases comfort. The whole is complemented by a liner lock, ensuring safe operation with smooth handling.
