The Blade
Forged from pattern-welded Damascus steel with a bold wavy and flowing pattern across the full wide rectangular blade flat — etched dark with a bright polished cutting edge. The tanto-cleaver profile features a straight spine running parallel to the straight cutting edge, with a clean squared tip. A polished steel bolster sits at the blade-handle junction, adding a clean visual separation between blade and handle.
The Handle
The handle is crafted from pakkawood in a striking two-tone combination of dark blue/navy and red/burgundy — a stabilized wood composite with a smooth, polished finish that highlights the layered color contrast. Pakkawood is dense, moisture-resistant, and comfortable to grip. The full tang runs the full length of the handle for a solid, unified construction throughout.
The Sheath
The dark brown leather horizontal carry sheath features a single decorative brass concho stud on the front face and gold stitching along all edges. The horizontal carry design positions the knife naturally at the hip for comfortable belt carry in the field or on the trail.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is a tanto-cleaver knife profile?
A: A tanto-cleaver combines the wide rectangular blade geometry of a cleaver with the straight spine and squared tip of a tanto profile — a distinctive fixed blade shape that provides a broad, flat cutting surface and a strong squared tip.
Q: What is pakkawood?
A: Pakkawood is a stabilized wood composite made by impregnating natural wood with resin under pressure. It is denser and more moisture-resistant than untreated wood, with a smooth finish that highlights the layered color patterns. Each handle has its own natural color variation.
Q: What Damascus pattern does this knife have?
A: The blade features a bold wavy and flowing Damascus pattern — alternating dark etched and bright polished layers across the full wide blade flat. Each knife has a unique pattern due to the handcrafted nature of pattern-welded Damascus steel.
Q: Does it come with a sheath?
A: Yes. Every knife includes a dark brown leather horizontal carry sheath with a decorative brass concho stud and gold stitching along all edges.
