The Wave Damascus Blade
The blade is hand-forged from pattern-welded Damascus steel featuring a flowing wave pattern — smooth, organic waves etched across the full medium drop-point blade flat. The drop-point profile is purpose-built for hunting — the controlled tip allows precise field dressing and skinning without puncturing organs. At 9.5 inches overall, this is a full-size hunting knife with the weight and balance for serious outdoor use. For more handmade fixed blade knives, explore our Skinner Knives Collection.
The Red & Black Buffalo Horn Handle
The handle pairs alternating red and black buffalo horn segments — deep crimson red horn and rich dark black horn alternating along the full handle length, with gold brass spacers between each segment creating a bold striped look. A decorative brass medallion and rosette is inlaid into the handle for a premium collector finish. Two brass pins secure the full tang construction. The ergonomic finger-groove shape fits naturally in the hand for controlled hunting and field work. No two buffalo horn handles are identical due to the natural variation in horn color and grain.
The Dark Burgundy Leather Belt Sheath
The sheath is a full leather belt carry sheath in dark burgundy and brown leather. Three leather belt loops secured with four brass rivets allow the sheath to be worn securely on any standard belt. Gold and tan braided stitching runs along all curved edges. The sheath provides secure carry and full blade protection in the field at 9.5 inches overall.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is buffalo horn and why is it used for knife handles?
A: Buffalo horn is a natural material harvested from water buffalo, valued for its rich dark color, natural variation in pattern, and durability. It is denser than wood and provides a secure, comfortable grip. The alternating red and black segments in this handle are created by pairing naturally colored horn pieces, with each segment being unique in its grain and color depth.
Q: What are the brass spacers for?
A: The brass spacers are thin gold-colored metal discs placed between each buffalo horn segment — they create a bold striped visual pattern along the handle and also provide structural separation between the horn segments. They are a traditional feature in premium custom knife making and add a distinctly premium, handcrafted look.
Q: What is the drop-point blade profile and why is it used for hunting?
A: A drop-point blade has a spine that curves gently downward toward the tip, creating a strong, controlled tip that sits lower than the spine. This design gives the hunter precise control during field dressing — the tip is strong enough for skinning and controlled enough to avoid puncturing the stomach or organs. It is the most popular blade profile for hunting knives worldwide.
Q: Does it come with a sheath?
A: Yes. Every knife includes a premium dark burgundy leather belt sheath with 3 leather belt loops, 4 brass rivets, and gold/tan braided stitching along all edges for secure belt carry in the field.
