Stag Antler Handle Damascus Gut Hook Hunting Knife — Brass Collar & Leather Sheath

Stag Antler Handle. Damascus Blade. Gut Hook Tip.

This handmade Damascus steel hunting knife is built around a drop-point blade forged from layered Damascus steel — multiple alloys folded and welded under heat and hammer until the layers create a bold swirling eye and wave Damascus pattern unique to every blade. The blade tip carries a gut hook — a sharpened curved hook ground into the spine at the tip of the blade, used for opening game without puncturing the internal organs during field dressing. A brass collar bolster with a black spacer ring sits at the blade-handle junction — two rings stacked, warm gold brass against black. The handle is natural stag antler — genuine antler tine with warm brown surface, deep natural texture, and a dark crown base. No two stag antler handles are identical. The dark black leather sheath features a fish scale scallop embossed tooling pattern covering the full surface, a two-tone dark brown leather panel on the back, and a brass snap button closure on the belt loop flap.

The Damascus Blade & Gut Hook

The blade is hand forged from layered Damascus steel — multiple alloys folded and welded under heat and hammer until the layers create a bold swirling eye and wave pattern unique to every blade. The drop-point profile gives the blade a wide belly for field dressing and skinning. The gut hook is a sharpened curved hook ground into the spine at the tip of the blade — used for opening game from the inside without puncturing the internal organs. A serrated section on the spine near the gut hook provides additional grip and cutting surface. No two Damascus blades are identical.

The Stag Antler Handle

The handle is natural stag antler — genuine antler tine with a warm brown surface and deep natural texture that comes from the antler’s outer cortex. The dark crown base of the antler sits at the bolster end of the handle. A brass collar bolster with a black spacer ring sits at the blade-handle junction — two rings stacked, warm gold brass against black. No two stag antler handles are identical in color, texture, or shape — each handle is a unique piece of natural material.

The Leather Sheath

The dark black leather sheath features a fish scale scallop embossed tooling pattern pressed into the full surface of the sheath. A two-tone dark brown leather panel covers the back of the sheath. A brass snap button closure on the belt loop flap secures the knife during carry. A belt loop allows for easy field carry on the hip.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is a gut hook and how is it used?
A: A gut hook is a sharpened curved hook ground into the spine at the tip of the blade.

A: Yes. The handle is genuine natural stag antler — a real antler tine with warm brown surface and deep natural texture. No two stag antler handles are identical in color, texture, or shape. The dark crown base of the antler is visible at the bolster end of the handle.

Q: Does it come with a sheath?
A: Yes. Every knife includes a dark black leather sheath with fish scale scallop embossed tooling and a brass snap button closure for secure carry.
