Damascus Steel and Blade Detail
The blade is hand forged from 1095 and 15N20 Damascus steel using a traditional process of layering, forge welding, and hammering. This creates a distinctive Damascus pattern across every blade, giving each knife its own unique appearance.
Damascus steel is known for its excellent combination of strength, hardness, durability, and edge retention. The blade is carefully heat treated to approximately HRC 62+ for dependable cutting performance.
The 4.0" straight back blade provides excellent control, a strong spine, and a practical cutting edge for skinning, hunting, field dressing, camping, and general outdoor use.
SCALES & HANDLE DETAIL:
The handle is crafted from exotic Wenge wood, selected for its dark natural grain, durability, and distinctive appearance.
Brass pins secure the handle while adding a classic decorative detail to the overall design.
The handle is carefully shaped for a secure and comfortable grip, helping provide dependable control during outdoor and field tasks.
Natural variations in the Wenge wood grain and Damascus pattern make each knife slightly different and unique.
