Rune Handmade Damascus Skinner Knife, 10.0” Overall, 5.5” Drop Point Blade, Exotic Olive Wood Handle, Brass Mosaic Pin, Steel Rivets, Full Tang, Hand-Stitched Leather Sheath, Pro Knife Sharpening & Personalized Engraving
Damascus Steel and Blade Detail
The Rune 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 Rune 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, skinning, and outdoor use.
The 5.5-inch drop point blade provides a strong, versatile cutting profile with excellent control for skinning, field work, hunting, and general outdoor utility.
Scales & Handle
The handle is crafted from exotic olive wood, selected for its distinctive natural grain, warm coloration, and traditional outdoor appearance.
The wood is carefully shaped and finished to provide a secure and comfortable grip while complementing the full-tang construction.
A decorative brass mosaic pin and steel rivets reinforce the handle while adding refined handcrafted detail.
Natural variations in the olive wood grain ensure that every Rune has its own individual appearance.
