DCB Customs Horizon Classic – Norris Damascus

The Horizon Classic brings together refined construction, premium materials, and meticulous finishing in a custom framelock that feels cohesive from every angle. Acquired at Blade Show Atlanta 2026, this configuration showcases thoughtful material selection and careful attention to detail throughout. The 3.70″ blade is crafted from Norris Fireclone 2 Damascus and finished with a deep etch that highlights the intricate layered pattern from tang to tip. The sweeping lines of the Damascus create constant visual movement across the blade surface, while the hollow grind adds both cutting performance and refinement to the overall profile. The result is a blade that balances utility and craftsmanship without sacrificing either. Deployment is handled through dual blue-anodized thumb studs and rides on a bearing pivot system. The action is smooth, controlled, and precise, allowing the blade to glide open with authority. Lockup is provided by a titanium frame lock that integrates cleanly into the handle while maintaining the minimalist appearance that defines the Horizon Classic platform. The zirblasted titanium handle provides a subtle, understated backdrop for the more decorative elements of the build. The soft matte finish complements the Damascus beautifully while allowing the details to stand out naturally. A black Timascus pivot inlay creates an immediate focal point on the presentation side, introducing rich blue and violet tones that are echoed throughout the knife. Additional accents include a Timascus pocket clip and blue-anodized hardware, creating a cohesive visual theme without overwhelming the design. The carbon fiber backspacer adds another layer of detail while helping maintain the clean, modern lines of the frame. Every material feels intentionally selected and carefully integrated into the overall composition. Weighing 4.92 ounces, the Horizon Classic offers a substantial yet comfortable carry. The titanium frame remains slim in pocket while providing excellent rigidity and balance. From the blade geometry to the finishing work and hardware choices, the knife reflects the attention to detail and craftsmanship that have become hallmarks of DCB Customs. Hand-selected at Blade Show Atlanta 2026, this Horizon Classic combines Norris Fireclone 2 Damascus, Timascus accents, and David Beaver’s distinctive design language in a refined custom configuration that highlights both craftsmanship and performance. Includes maker’s soft case and Certificate of Authenticity.
