The swirling layered Damascus steel surrounds the etching, making the moose appear to emerge from the pattern itself. The spine of the blade features wire cut jimping — a series of precise notches cut into the spine that provide a secure thumb grip during field dressing and skinning work. The two-tone handle pairs dark rosewood on the upper half with cream bone on the lower half, secured with brass dot rivets. The dark burgundy leather sheath with white chain-stitch stitching completes a knife built to carry, use, and display.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eComplete Specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eFeature\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eDetail\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBlade Material\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHand Forged Damascus Steel\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBlade Style\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDrop-Point Skinner Fixed Blade\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBlade Finish\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSwirling Layered Damascus Pattern\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBlade Feature\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMoose Silhouette Etching on Blade Flat + Wire Cut Jimping on Spine\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\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\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eApprox. 8 inches\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHandle Length\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eApprox. 4 inches\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHandle Material\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTwo-Tone — Dark Rosewood Upper + Cream Bone Lower\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHardware\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBrass Dot Rivets\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eConstruction\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFull Tang\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSheath\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDark Burgundy Leather with White Chain-Stitch Stitching\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eApprox. 1 lb\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\u003ch2\u003ePerfect For\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eHunting \u0026amp; Field Dressing | Skinning \u0026amp; Game Processing | Outdoor \u0026amp; Camp Use | Knife Collecting | Gift for Him | Christmas Gift | Birthday Gift | Display \u0026amp; Wall Mounting\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHand forged Damascus steel drop-point skinner blade\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMoose silhouette etching on the Damascus blade flat — unique collector detail\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWire cut jimping on blade spine for secure thumb grip during field use\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTwo-tone handle — dark rosewood upper + cream bone lower with brass dot rivets\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFull tang construction for maximum strength\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDark burgundy leather sheath with white chain-stitch stitching\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eThe Damascus Blade\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe blade is hand forged from layered Damascus steel — multiple alloys folded and welded under heat and hammer until the layers create a swirling water-drop pattern unique to every blade. The moose silhouette is etched directly into the blade flat, surrounded by the swirling Damascus pattern. The spine of the blade features wire cut jimping — a row of precise notches cut into the top edge of the spine that give your thumb a secure, non-slip grip when applying pressure during field dressing.

Rosewood brings warm grain and a smooth, comfortable grip. Cream bone provides natural texture and visual contrast. Brass dot rivets secure both handle scales to the full tang.
