Complete Specifications

The Carbon Steel Blade

The blade is forged from carbon steel and features a bright mirror-polished cutting edge. Its wide drop point profile provides a broad belly and controlled point, making the design well suited to skinning and field-dressing applications. The spine features heavy serrations and jimping with a dark rough texture — providing added thumb traction and control during use while giving the blade a distinctive handcrafted appearance. Carbon steel requires regular care to help maintain its finish and protect against corrosion. After cleaning or exposure to moisture, dry the blade thoroughly and apply a light coat of suitable blade oil.

The Turquoise & Wood Handle

The handle features a two-scale construction combining natural cracked turquoise stone with figured wood. The turquoise scale has a blue-green appearance with natural dark veining and crack patterns, while the figured wood provides warm tones and flowing natural grain. Because both materials are naturally variable, the color, grain, veining, and crack patterns may differ slightly from the photographs. A silver pin secures the handle scales, while a silver lanyard hole at the butt provides an attachment point for a suitable wrist lanyard or cord.

The Leather Sheath

The knife comes with a handcrafted brown leather sheath designed to protect the blade during storage and carry. The front features a darker rough-textured leather panel, while the rear uses smoother tan leather. Yellow-gold stitching runs around the edges, adding contrast to the brown leather. The sheath also includes a belt loop for convenient carry.
