Damascus Blade. Gut Hook Tip.\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eComplete Specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eFeature\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eDetail\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBlade Material\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHand Forged Damascus Steel\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBlade Style\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDrop-Point Fixed Blade with Gut Hook at Tip\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBlade Finish\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBold Swirling Eye \u0026amp; Wave Damascus Pattern\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBlade Feature\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eGut Hook at Tip + Serrated Spine Near Gut Hook\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBlade Length\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eApprox. 4.5 inches\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eApprox. 9.5 inches\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHandle Length\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eApprox. 5 inches\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHandle Material\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNatural Stag Antler — Genuine Antler Tine with Dark Crown Base\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBolster\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBrass Collar with Black Spacer Ring — Two Rings Stacked\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eConstruction\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHidden Tang \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSheath\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDark Black Leather with Fish Scale Scallop Embossed Tooling \u0026amp; Brass Snap Button\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eApprox. 1 lb\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003ePerfect For\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHunting \u0026amp; Field Dressing | Outdoor \u0026amp; Camp Use | Knife Collecting | Gift for Him | Christmas Gift | Birthday Gift | Display \u0026amp; Wall Mounting | Ranch \u0026amp; Farm Use | Father’s Day Gift\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHand forged Damascus steel drop-point blade with bold swirling eye and wave Damascus pattern\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGut hook at blade tip for field dressing game without puncturing organs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrass collar bolster with black spacer ring — two rings stacked at blade-handle junction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNatural stag antler handle — genuine antler tine with warm brown texture and dark crown base\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNo two stag antler handles are identical\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDark black leather sheath with fish scale scallop embossed tooling and brass snap button\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eThe Damascus Blade \u0026amp; Gut Hook\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 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.

It is a standard feature on dedicated field dressing hunting knives.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: Is the stag antler handle genuine?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA: 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: Does it come with a sheath?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA: Yes.
