Victorinox drops a new Damast knife every year, and every year collectors and resellers ask whether it’s worth copping. The 2026 edition is the 17th installment in the series, and it might be the best-looking one yet: a 115-layer Damasteel blade paired with grain-matched plane tree wood scales, individually numbered on the grip, and limited to 7,000 units. Whether you’re looking at a quick flip or a decade-long hold, the Damast series has a track record that makes this worth a serious look.

2026 Victorinox Damast Evoke Knife

The Evoke Wood Damast Limited Edition 2026 is a proper lockback folder, not your grandfather’s Swiss Army knife with 12 tools crammed into the handle. The blade is 3.875 inches of 115-layer Gysinge Damasteel hardened to 60 HRC, with an acid-etched pattern that looks like something from a museum collection. The sustainably sourced plane tree wood scales are grain-matched per knife, meaning no two of the 7,000 are identical.

The steel liners visible through the handle cutouts carry their own Damasteel pattern — a detail that will make collectors look twice. Each knife ships in a presentation box with a certificate of authenticity and the edition number burned into the grip.

Collectors Love Victorinox Damast Knives

The Damast series has a documented resale history. Recent releases are moving for $100 to $300 over retail, netting roughly $55 to $260 after eBay’s 13% fees on a $465 buy. The one-per-customer limit keeps supply from flooding the market.

The longer hold is where things get more interesting. Early Damast knives from around 2011 have traded for up to $3,000, more than 10x their original retail. That takes years and isn’t guaranteed, but the series has appreciated consistently with age. We’ve seen similar patterns play out with the Benchmade x KITH Bugout, the Leatherman Garage Batch 5 Anniversary, and even standard Leatherman Arc multitools. The Damast series has more longevity than most.

Head directly to Victorinox’s website to order. The knife is limited to one per customer, ships free, and estimated delivery is early May 2026.

Victorinox does offer returns on official site orders, so this is not a final-sale situation. Check their returns policy before ordering to confirm the window and conditions. With 7,000 units available globally, this isn’t a panic-buy scenario, but previous Damast drops have sold out. Don’t sit on it too long.
