Damascus Steel Hunting Knife — Stag Antler Handle & Steel Guard | Leather Sheath

Damascus Steel Hunting Knife — Stag Antler Handle & Steel Guard

Some knives get carried. This one gets noticed. The blade is hand-forged Damascus steel with a bold swirling pattern that covers the full face of the blade — not a surface treatment, not a print. The handle is natural stag antler, rough-textured and warm in the hand, fitted with a polished steel guard that protects the fingers and anchors the look. The brown leather sheath has snap closures and a belt loop built for daily carry.

Made by hand. Built to last. Ready to use.

Complete Specifications

The Blade — Swirling Damascus Pattern

The Damascus on this knife is forged using a raindrop or swirling technique — the billet is punched or pressed during forging to create the circular, eye-like pattern that covers the blade face. The result is one of the most visually striking Damascus patterns available, and it runs through the steel rather than sitting on the surface.

At 58–60 HRC, the blade holds a working edge through sustained outdoor use. The drop point profile keeps the tip strong for piercing tasks while the curved belly handles field dressing and slicing cleanly.

The Handle — Natural Stag Antler

Stag antler is one of the most traditional handle materials in fixed blade knife making. The outer surface is naturally porous and textured, providing grip even in wet conditions. The polished steel guard sits between blade and handle, protecting the hand from forward movement during hard use.

The Sheath — Brown Leather with Snap Closures

The brown leather sheath has two snap button closures that keep the knife secure during carry and movement. The belt loop supports standard belt carry. The leather will develop a patina with use.
