Vesper Handmade Damascus Hunting Knife, 10.0” Overall, 5.0” Blade, Exotic Wenge Wood Handle, Damascus Guard, Full Tang, Hand-Stitched Leather Sheath, Pro Knife Sharpening & Personalized Engraving
The Vesper features a hand-forged Damascus steel blade crafted through repeated layering, forge-welding, hammering, and finishing. This process creates the distinctive flowing Damascus pattern across the blade, giving every knife its own individual appearance.
Because the pattern develops naturally during forging and finishing, no two Vesper blades are exactly alike. Each knife carries its own unique visual character and handcrafted detail.
The blade is heat treated to approximately HRC 62+ hardness, providing a dependable balance of sharpness, strength, durability, and edge retention for hunting and outdoor use.
The 5.0-inch blade provides a practical balance of control, cutting capability, and portability, making it well suited for hunting, field work, camping, and general outdoor utility.
The handle is crafted from exotic Wenge wood, selected for its deep natural coloration, pronounced grain, and distinctive appearance.
The wood is carefully shaped and finished to provide a secure and comfortable grip while complementing the full-tang construction.
A Damascus steel guard adds protection and visual continuity with the patterned blade, giving the Vesper a refined handcrafted appearance.
Natural variations in the Wenge wood grain ensure that every handle has its own individual character.
