Why it works

A Damascus Steel Nomad with the silver Duct Tape wraps. Rippled steel and grey tape make a cheap-looking, all-metal set that is more about texture than color.

What it costs

With Nomad Knife | Damascus Steel in Factory New and Hand Wraps | Duct Tape in Minimal Wear, the set comes to $228. Nomad Knife | Damascus Steel is 69% of that; in Field-Tested it is $130, which saves $27 and is hard to spot in first person.
