The D2 Steel Blade
D2 tool steel is one of the most popular choices for high-performance fixed blade knives. Known for its excellent edge retention and wear resistance, D2 steel holds a sharp edge through demanding field use. The blade is mirror polished to a bright silver finish that highlights the clean drop point skinner profile. The thick spine adds backbone for splitting and heavy outdoor tasks.

The Natural Stag Handle
The handle is crafted from natural stag — genuine deer antler — with a rough, textured surface in cream, brown, and black tones. No two stag handles are identical, making each knife a one-of-a-kind piece. A red spacer ring sits between the stainless steel bolster and the stag for a striking color contrast. Dual stainless steel bolsters at the blade junction and pommel provide a strong, balanced frame around the natural antler.
The Tan Leather Sheath
The sheath is crafted from tan/brown leather with white stitching running along all edges. It is shaped to fit the drop point blade profile securely for safe carry and storage. A belt loop allows for easy field carry.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is D2 steel?
A: D2 is a high-carbon, high-chromium tool steel known for excellent edge retention, wear resistance, and toughness. It is a popular choice for hunting and skinner knives that need to hold a sharp edge through demanding field use.
Q: What is a stag handle?
