Handle Details

The handle is shaped from genuine ram horn — a natural material known for its dense grain, warm tones, and comfortable grip. Ram horn darkens and develops character with use, making every knife handle one of a kind. The polished steel bolster sits between blade and handle, adding weight forward and a clean visual break between materials. Brass pins secure the full tang firmly through the handle scales.

Blade Details

The blade is hand forged from layered Damascus steel in a raindrop pattern — formed by manipulating the steel during the forging process to create circular, flowing designs across the surface. The blade is ground into a classic skinner profile: a wide belly for field dressing, a controlled tip, and a spine thick enough to handle real work. The edge is hand sharpened and ready to use straight from the sheath.

Knife Care Instructions

• Hand wash only — never put in dishwasher
• Dry immediately after contact with moisture
• Apply a light coat of food-safe mineral oil to the blade every few months
• Store in the leather sheath when not in use
• Condition the leather sheath occasionally with leather conditioner
• Keep away from prolonged humidity to prevent rust

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Does this knife come with a sheath?
Yes — every knife ships with a genuine leather sheath included at no extra cost.

Q: Is the ram horn handle slippery when wet?
Ram horn has a naturally textured surface that provides a secure grip even in wet or cold conditions. It is one of the more practical natural handle materials for field use.

Q: Is this a full tang knife?
Yes. The blade steel runs the full length of the handle, secured with brass pins through the ram horn scales. Full tang construction makes the knife significantly stronger than partial tang designs.

Q: Can I use this knife for field dressing and skinning?
Yes. The blade profile — wide belly, controlled tip, and sharp edge — is well suited for field dressing, skinning, and general outdoor cutting tasks.

Q: Will the Damascus pattern fade over time?
The pattern is etched into the steel and will remain visible with normal use. Keeping the blade lightly oiled and dry will preserve the finish. Heavy use may lighten the contrast slightly, which can be refreshed with a light acid etch.

Q: Is this knife handmade or factory produced?
This knife is entirely handmade — forged, ground, handled, and finished by hand. No two pieces are identical.
