Handmade Damascus Hunting Knife — Black Buffalo Horn Handle & Leather Sheath

A Hunting Knife Built for the Field — Tested in the Wild

This is not a display piece. It is a working hunting knife that happens to look exceptional. The blade is hand forged from layered high-carbon Damascus steel — the flowing wave pattern running the full length of the steel is the result of a centuries-old forging process, not a surface treatment. The black buffalo horn handle gives you a grip that gets better with use. Every knife is made by hand. No two are identical.

Paired with a dark brown leather sheath, this knife is built to carry into the field and bring back out again.

Complete Specifications

The Blade — Hand Forged Damascus Steel

The blade is forged from high-carbon Damascus steel using a traditional layering method that produces the flowing wave pattern visible across the full length of the steel. The clip point profile gives you a sharp, precise tip for detail work and a strong belly for skinning and field dressing. At 58–60 HRC, the edge holds through hard outdoor use and resharpens cleanly on a whetstone.

The Handle — Natural Black Buffalo Horn

Black buffalo horn is one of the oldest natural handle materials used in knife making. It is dense, moisture resistant, and develops a natural sheen with use. The polished silver bolster anchors the handle to the blade and adds a clean visual contrast against the dark horn. Steel pins secure the scales firmly to the full tang.

The Sheath — Genuine Leather

The dark brown leather sheath is fitted to the blade and includes a belt loop for standard carry. The leather protects the blade and your gear, and develops a natural patina with use.
