Jaco De Kock NS Linerlock with Damasteel Blade, Damasteel Bolsters, and Crystal Titanium Scales

The Jaco De Kock NS Linerlock is a direct-from-maker South African custom folder completed in 04/2026. This NS Linerlock features a Damasteel blade, Damasteel bolsters, Crystal Titanium scales, a Grade 5 titanium pocket clip, and a signed maker presentation case with Certificate of Authenticity details.

This knife has the refined, sculptural look collectors expect from high-end South African custom folders. The Damasteel blade and bolsters flow together visually, giving the knife a clean, continuous patterned-steel presentation from blade to handle. The Crystal Titanium scales add a shimmering, textured surface that contrasts beautifully against the polished Damasteel and titanium clip.

Jaco De Kock NS Linerlock with Damasteel and Crystal Titanium

The Jaco De Kock NS Linerlock is built around a clean Damasteel blade with a long, elegant profile and a crisp, high-polish finish. The blade pattern carries into the Damasteel bolsters, creating a highly cohesive custom folder presentation. The opening action is supported by the front flipper-style geometry, while the linerlock construction keeps the design refined and collector-focused.

The handle is where this knife becomes especially distinctive. The Crystal Titanium scales have a fractured, crystalline look that catches light from multiple angles. The Grade 5 titanium pocket clip is shaped cleanly into the profile, keeping the knife functional without taking away from the art-folder presentation. The spine view shows intricate internal detail and a polished custom backspacer treatment, adding another layer of craftsmanship to the build.
