J.H. Patterson Damascus Steel Folding Knife – A True Gentleman’s Blade

Honoring a Legendary Hunter and Soldier

Lieutenant-Colonel John Henry Patterson was a British soldier, writer, and adventurer. He is best known for his book The Man-Eaters of Tsavo. It tells the thrilling story of his battle against two man-eating lions in Africa. These lions terrorized railway workers, stopping construction. The local people, frightened and superstitious, refused to continue. To save the project, Patterson took matters into his own hands.

After months of hunting, he shot the first lion on December 9, 1898. Two weeks later, he killed the second one. The second lion nearly took his life, charging at him after being wounded. Each lion was massive, over nine feet long. It took at least eight men to carry one back to camp. The locals saw Patterson as a hero and honored him with a silver bowl.

His incredible life inspires this fine Damascus steel pocket knife. Strong, reliable, and beautifully crafted—this is a knife built for adventure.
