The Hand-Engraved J2 Steel Blade

The blade is forged from J2 steel and mirror polished to a bright silver finish. A flowing floral and scroll pattern is hand-engraved across the full blade flat and continues onto the integrated bolster — each knife is individually engraved, making every piece unique. The wide skinner belly profile is designed for smooth, controlled field dressing strokes. The finger groove at the bolster allows the index finger to ride forward for precision skinning work.

The Black Resin Handle

The handle is crafted from solid black resin — smooth, contoured, and built for a secure grip. Five brass pins run in a row along the handle, securing it to the full tang. Five circular cutout holes along the spine side add a bold, distinctive visual element that sets this knife apart from standard hunting knives. The integrated engraved bolster creates a seamless transition from blade to handle.

The Basket Weave Leather Sheath

The sheath is crafted from tan/brown leather with a basket weave geometric pattern embossed across the full surface. A black leather liner and trim at the top edge adds a two-tone contrast. A black snap button closure keeps the knife secure. A belt loop on the back allows for easy field carry.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Is the floral engraving on the blade hand-done or laser engraved?
A: The floral and scroll pattern is hand-engraved by a skilled artisan — not laser engraved or machine stamped. Each knife is individually engraved, so minor variations in the pattern are a natural part of the handmade process.

Q: What are the circular holes in the handle for?
A: The 5 circular cutout holes along the spine side of the handle are a design feature that reduces handle weight and adds a distinctive visual element. They are a signature detail on this knife model.

Q: What is J2 steel?
A: J2 steel is a high-carbon stainless steel alloy known for its excellent edge retention, corrosion resistance, and ease of sharpening — a reliable choice for hunting and field knives used in wet outdoor conditions.

Q: Does it come with a sheath?
A: Yes. Every knife includes a tan basket weave leather sheath with black leather trim, black snap button closure, and a belt loop for field carry.
