Marauder Hand-Forged Damascus Tanto Knife, 4.5” Blade, 1095 & 15N20 Damascus Steel, Pakkawood Handle, Full Tang, Hand-Stitched Leather Sheath, Pro Knife Sharpening & Personalized Engraving
Damascus Steel and Blade Detail
The blade is hand forged from 1095 and 15N20 steel through repeated layering, forge-welding, hammering, and finishing. This process creates the distinctive Damascus pattern across the blade, giving every knife its own individual appearance.
Because the pattern develops naturally during forging and finishing, no two blades are exactly alike. Each knife carries its own unique visual character and handcrafted detail.
The blade is oil quenched and heat treated to approximately HRC 62+ hardness, providing a dependable balance of strength, sharpness, durability, and edge retention.
The 4.5-inch Tanto point blade features an angular profile with a strong reinforced tip, making it well suited for controlled cutting, outdoor utility, camping, hunting, and general-purpose tasks.
Scales & Handle
The handle is crafted from durable Pakkawood, selected for its stability, strength, and attractive layered wood appearance.
The handle is carefully shaped and finished to provide a secure and comfortable grip while complementing the full-tang fixed-blade construction.
Pakkawood offers the visual character of wood with improved resistance to moisture and everyday wear.
