His mother died of smallpox shortly after giving birth and his father left for New Zealand when Charles was 10, leaving him in the care of relatives. At 13, Charles signed onto the crew of a ship and began a life at sea. As the years passed, he obtained his various mates certificates and became an able officer who was offered a position on the ill-fated Titanic. The night that the ship sank, Lightoller was in charge of half of the lifeboats and made sure that the women and children in his vicinity were saved. Just as the Titanic went under, Lightoller jumped free and managed to grab hold of a collapsible lifeboat, surviving until morning.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAfter the Titanic, Lightoller went home to England and was awarded positions in the Royal Navy, eventually becoming a decorated officer due to war victories in World War I. He retired before World War II but when he heard of the disaster at Dunkirk, he volunteered to take his personal 35-seat watercraft and pilot it in an effort to save as many soldiers as possible. He made it there and was able to rescue 127 men. On the journey back to England, Lightoller evaded aircraft fire from enemy planes and was able to safely deliver those men home.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis small EDC knife has been named after Charles Lightoller as we love his story and felt a small everyday carry folding knife made of Damascus steel would be the perfect knife for someone with his story. This knife is a great utility knife for small duty work but don't underestimate this knife. The short Damascus blade is a great slicer. The beautiful Damascus bolster and rich Rosewood handle make this knife anything but a utility knife. The ambidextrous design means it can be used by either a right-handed or left-handed person. The stainless steel liner has the liner-lock built in so it doesn't add any unnecessary bulk to the knife. This incredibly unique handmade Damascus steel folder will be a prized knife in your collection or an incredible gift for the knife collector in your life. We also offer \u003cspan\u003ea more capable, larger EDC with a stronger lock,\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cspan\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/\/products\/fs-2227?_pos=1\u0026amp;_psq=freu\u0026amp;_ss=e\u0026amp;_v=1.0\" title=\"Freuchen Hand-Forged Damascus EDC Folding Knife - Wenge Wood\"\u003ethe Freuchen\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eLightoller Hand-Forged Damascus Steel EDC Folding Knife - Rosewood Specifications\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"list-style-type: none;\"\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOverall Weight: 4.8 oz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOverall Length: 4.5 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOverall Width: 16.5 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHandle Length: 2.75 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHandle Material: Rosewood with Damascus Steel bolster\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlade Length: 1.75 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlade Width: 3.5 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlade Shape: Trailing Point\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlade Material: Damascus Steel (1095 and 15n20)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDamascus Pattern: Twist\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNumber of Layers: 256\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRockwell Hardness: HRC 56-59\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGrind: Compound Bevel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLocking System: Liner Lock\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncludes a full-grain leather sheath\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlease note:\u003c\/strong\u003e This knife is a BLEM.
