The Wavy Damascus Blade
The blade is forged from pattern-welded Damascus steel featuring a flowing wavy pattern — smooth, organic waves etched across the full narrow blade flat. The narrow pointed profile is purpose-built for precision skinning, filleting, and field dressing — ideal for deer, elk, and fish. The bright polished cutting edge delivers maximum sharpness for clean, precise cuts. A steel bolster at the blade-handle junction provides a secure grip transition.

The Red Hardwood Handle
The handle is crafted from red and crimson dyed hardwood with layered scales — alternating red and dark wood layers that create a rich, deep color with visible grain. A decorative brass medallion and rosette is inlaid into the handle for a premium collector look. One brass pin secures the full tang construction. The rectangular handle shape provides a comfortable, secure grip for precision skinning work.
The Two-Tone Leather Sheath
The sheath features a two-tone design — a tan and orange leather front panel paired with a dark brown and black leather back panel. An embossed scallop and arch pattern runs along the bottom edge. Tan and gold stitching runs along all edges for a clean, handcrafted finish. The sheath provides secure carry and protection for the narrow Damascus blade.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the difference between a skinning knife and a fillet knife?
A: A skinning knife is designed for removing the hide from game animals — typically with a curved or narrow blade for precision work close to the skin. A fillet knife is designed for removing fish flesh from bones — typically with a flexible narrow blade. This knife’s narrow pointed profile works well for both skinning and filleting tasks.
Q: What is the wavy Damascus pattern?
A: The wavy Damascus pattern is one of the most classic Damascus patterns — created by folding and drawing out the steel in a consistent direction, producing smooth flowing waves across the blade flat. It is a timeless pattern that highlights the layered nature of Damascus steel.
Q: What is the decorative brass medallion on the handle?
A: The brass medallion is a decorative inlay set into the handle — a circular brass rosette that adds a premium collector look to the knife. It is purely decorative and does not affect the structural integrity of the full tang handle.
Q: Does it come with a sheath?
A: Yes. Every knife includes a premium two-tone leather sheath with a tan/orange front panel, dark brown/black back panel, embossed scallop pattern, and tan/gold stitching along all edges.
