The Damascus Steel Blade

The blade is forged from Damascus steel with a deep etched layered wavy pattern across the full blade flat. A copper/rose gold strip runs along the spine edge — adding a warm metallic contrast against the dark Damascus pattern. The drop point profile is versatile for everyday carry, field use, and collecting. The clean stainless steel bolster at the base is left completely plain — no engraving, no markings — for a refined, understated look.

The Natural Stag Handle

The handle is crafted from natural stag — genuine deer antler — with a rough, textured surface in dark brown and black tones. Four brass pins secure the handle scales to the full tang. A lanyard hole at the top allows for secure attachment. No two stag handles are identical — each knife is a one-of-a-kind piece shaped by nature.

The Leather Sheath

The dark brown leather sheath features gold stitching along all edges, a brass snap button closure, and a belt loop for easy carry. A mini sharpening rod is included in a side pocket — keeping your edge field-ready at all times.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is copper Damascus steel?
A: Copper Damascus is created by forge-welding layers of steel with copper strips between them. During the forging process, the copper becomes integrated into the blade, creating a distinctive warm copper accent visible along the spine edge. Each blade has a unique pattern that cannot be exactly replicated.

Q: What is a lockback folding knife?
A: A lockback is a folding knife mechanism where a spring-loaded bar locks the blade open when fully deployed. To close the knife, you press the lock bar on the spine of the handle to release the blade. It is one of the most reliable and time-tested folding knife mechanisms.

Q: Can the bolster be engraved?
A: Yes — the clean stainless steel bolster is ideal for custom engraving. Contact us to discuss personalization options for gifts, groomsmen sets, or special occasions.

Q: Does it come with a sheath?
A: Yes. Every knife includes a dark brown leather belt sheath with a brass snap button closure, gold stitching, belt loop, and a mini sharpening rod in a side pocket.
