Made to Last a Lifetime.\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSome knives you buy. Some knives you keep. This Damascus hunting knife falls into the second category. The blade is hand forged from layered high-carbon Damascus steel — the flowing wave pattern running the full length of the steel is not decoration, it is the result of a forging process that has been used for centuries. The natural stag antler handle fits the hand the way only a natural material can. No two antler handles are identical. Neither are two Damascus blades. Every knife that leaves the forge is its own piece.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePaired with a hand-tooled dark brown leather sheath with a brass concho snap closure, this is a hunting knife built to carry, use, and pass down.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eComplete Specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003e#\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSpecification\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eDetail\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBlade Material\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHand Forged Damascus Steel (High Carbon)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBlade Style\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDrop Point Hunting Knife\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e3\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBlade Finish\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHand Polished, Damascus Wave Pattern\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e4\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBlade Length\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eApprox. 4 inches\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e5\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eApprox. 8.5 inches\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e6\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHandle Length\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eApprox. 4.5 inches\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e7\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHandle Material\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNatural Stag Antler\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e8\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eGuard\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOrnate Silver Guard with Cutout Design\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e9\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTang Type\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHidden Tang\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e10\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBlade Hardness\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eApprox. 58–60 HRC\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e11\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eApprox. 190g\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e12\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSheath\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDark Brown Hand-Tooled Leather, Brass Concho Snap Closure\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e13\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eKnife Type\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFixed Blade Hunting Knife\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e14\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCondition\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHandmade, Brand New\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eThe Blade — Hand Forged Damascus Steel\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe blade is forged from high-carbon Damascus steel using a traditional layering method that produces the flowing wave and swirl pattern visible across the full length of the steel. The drop point profile gives you a strong, controlled tip for precision work and a wide belly sweep for skinning and field dressing. At 58–60 HRC, the edge holds through hard outdoor use and resharpens cleanly on a whetstone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eThe Handle — Natural Stag Antler\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNatural stag antler was chosen for the handle because it does what synthetic materials cannot — it grips better when wet, ages with character, and feels completely different from anything plastic or resin. The antler’s natural ridges and texture give your fingers something to hold onto in any condition. An ornate silver guard with a cutout diamond pattern anchors the handle to the blade, adding both structural strength and a collector’s detail that sets this knife apart.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eThe Sheath — Hand-Tooled Leather\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe dark brown leather sheath is hand-tooled with a floral border pattern and fitted with a brass concho snap closure.
