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.

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 color shifts from cream at the base to deep brown toward the crown, with natural variation that makes every handle unique.
The polished steel guard sits between blade and handle, protecting the hand from forward movement during hard use and giving the knife a clean, finished look at the junction.
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 — it improves over time.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What makes the Damascus pattern on this knife different?
This knife uses a swirling or raindrop Damascus technique, where the billet is pressed during forging to create circular, eye-like patterns. It is one of the most visually distinctive Damascus styles available.
Q: Is the stag antler handle real?
Yes. Natural stag antler — not synthetic, not resin. Each handle is unique in color, texture, and grain.
Q: What does the steel guard do?
The steel guard sits between the blade and handle, preventing the hand from sliding forward onto the blade during hard use. It also adds structural integrity to the knife.
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 brown leather sheath with snap closures shown in the photos.
