Damascus Steel Hunting Knife — Rosewood Handle, Bone Spacer & Brass Star Leather Sheath
The feather Damascus pattern on this blade is not something you see every day. Each line flows outward from the spine like a wing in motion — the result of a specific forging technique that takes more time and skill than standard Damascus. The rosewood handle is dense and warm in the hand, separated from the steel bolster by bone spacer rings that add contrast and grip. The dark brown leather sheath is hand-laced and studded with brass star conchos — the kind of sheath that gets noticed before the knife does.
Made by hand. One at a time. No two alike.

The Blade — Feather Damascus Pattern
Feather Damascus is one of the most demanding patterns to forge. The smith must carefully manipulate the billet during the forging process to create the flowing, feather-like lines that radiate from the spine. The result is a blade that looks like it was drawn by hand — because in a sense, it was.
At 58–60 HRC, the blade holds a sharp working edge through sustained outdoor use. The drop point profile keeps the tip strong for piercing while the curved belly handles field dressing and slicing tasks cleanly. Every blade carries a different arrangement of feather lines — no two are identical.
The Handle — Rosewood & Bone Spacers
Rosewood is one of the densest and most durable handle materials available. The deep red-brown grain is naturally beautiful and becomes richer with handling over time. The bone spacer rings between the wood and the steel bolster add visual contrast and a tactile transition point that improves grip at the guard.
The polished steel bolster protects the wood from splitting at the blade end and gives the knife a clean, finished look at the junction between handle and blade.
The Sheath — Brass Star Leather
The dark brown leather sheath is hand-laced with black cord and studded with brass star conchos at the corners and face. It is the kind of sheath that belongs on a belt at a ranch, a camp, or a knife show. The fit is snug and secure, protecting the blade and keeping the knife accessible throughout the day.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What makes feather Damascus different from regular Damascus?
Feather Damascus requires the smith to manipulate the billet during forging to create flowing, feather-like lines. It is more time-consuming than standard ladder or twist patterns and produces one of the most visually striking results in Damascus steel.
Q: Is the rosewood handle real wood?
Yes. Natural rosewood — not synthetic, not resin. Each handle is unique in grain and color.
Q: What are the bone spacer rings?
The bone spacer rings sit between the rosewood handle and the steel bolster. They add visual contrast, improve grip at the guard, and are a traditional element in high-quality handmade knife construction.
Q: Does Damascus steel rust?
Damascus contains high-carbon steel and can develop surface spots if left wet. Dry the blade after use and apply a light coat of oil to keep it in top condition.
Q: Does it come with the leather sheath?
Yes. Every knife ships with the dark brown brass star leather sheath shown in the photos.
