Kirby Lambert - Pheonix (Damascus, Zirc, Timascus)
Presenting the Phoenix model from Kirby Lambert—an exceptional blend of artistry, precision engineering, and everyday performance.
This liner-locking flipper features a striking Nichols Damascus blade. The Zirconium bolsters complement the blade beautifully and are paired with a custom tip-up pocket clip crafted from the same material.
The handles are Timascus over 6Al/4V titanium liners which are textured, jeweled and anodized in a rich blue hue with elegantly frosted edges that highlight the meticulous finishing throughout. A zirconium pivot with a Timascus inlay adds a refined touch of contrast, while the Zirconium backspacer ties the design together seamlessly. All hardware is anodized titanium, completing the cohesive, high-end build.
Both a fully functional cutting tool and a true showpiece, this knife is brand new, acquired directly from Kirby’s lottery at the 2026 Arts In Metal show. An outstanding opportunity to own a remarkable example of Kirby Lambert’s craftsmanship.
