The Damascus Blade

The 12-inch blade is hand-forged from alternating layers of 1095HC high-carbon steel and 15N20 nickel steel, producing a genuine 384-layer Damascus billet with a prominent ladder pattern that runs the full length of the blade. Oil tempered to 58–60 HRC and hand-sharpened to a precise 20-degree edge. Browse our Hunting Knives collection for more large-format handcrafted Damascus blades.

Rosewood Handle

The layered rosewood handle delivers a deep reddish-brown tone with natural grain variation across each piece. A grooved brass bolster sits at the blade junction, adding both visual character and structural reinforcement. A black spacer between the rosewood and brass creates a sharp visual break that highlights each material in the handle stack. Full tang construction runs the blade steel through the full handle length.

Full-Grain Leather Sheath

A full-grain leather sheath is included with every HS-872. The sheath is fitted to the blade profile and keeps the knife protected during storage and carry.
