DreamTech D3896WD – 3.27" Damascus Drop Point Folding Knife, Wood Handle
The DreamTech D3896WD is the wood-and-Damascus version of DreamTech's D3896 platform: a 3.27" Damascus steel drop point blade riding on a liner lock, wrapped in a natural wood handle. It is the dress version of a knife line that normally ships in G10 and Micarta, and the pattern-welded blade means no two examples look quite the same.
At 7.52" overall with a 4.25" handle, the DreamTech D3896WD is a full-size EDC folder rather than a pocket-sized one — enough blade for real cutting work, still flat enough to carry daily.

Frequently Asked Questions
What steel is the DreamTech D3896WD blade?
The DreamTech D3896WD uses a Damascus steel blade hardened to 58–60 HRC. Damascus is pattern-welded from layers of different steels, which is what produces the flowing lines across the blade — and it means the pattern on your DreamTech D3896WD will not be identical to anyone else's.
How long is the blade on the DreamTech D3896WD?
The DreamTech D3896WD has a 3.27" drop point blade at 0.12" thick, on a knife that measures 7.52" overall and 4.25" closed. That puts it in full-size EDC territory rather than the pocket-knife class.
What is a drop point blade?
A drop point has a convex curve running from the spine down to the tip, which leaves a strong tip and a long continuous belly. It is the most versatile general-purpose blade shape, and on the DreamTech D3896WD it handles everything from opening boxes to food prep and light outdoor work.
How does the lock on the DreamTech D3896WD work?
The DreamTech D3896WD uses a liner lock. When you open the blade, a spring-tensioned leaf inside the handle slides across the blade tang and holds it open. To close it, push that leaf sideways out of the way and fold the blade — keeping your fingers clear of the closing path.
How do you care for the wood handle on the DreamTech D3896WD?
Keep it dry and wipe it down after wet use. An occasional light coat of mineral oil or a wood-safe wax keeps the scales on the DreamTech D3896WD from drying out. The same applies to the Damascus blade — pattern-welded steel appreciates a wipe of oil, since the etched pattern can spot if it is left wet.
Where can I buy the DreamTech D3896WD?
You can buy the DreamTech D3896WD at Going Gear, an authorized DreamTech dealer. Going Gear has specialized in knives, flashlights and everyday carry gear since 2009 and ships from Georgia.
