The Damascus Blade

The blade is hand forged from layered Damascus steel — multiple alloys folded and welded under heat and hammer until the layers create a bold flowing wave pattern unique to every blade. The drop-point profile is the most versatile hunting blade shape — a strong tip for piercing, a long belly for skinning, and a thick spine for heavy field tasks. A finger groove is cut into the blade near the guard for a secure, controlled grip during field dressing. The wide rectangular gold brass crossguard protects the hand during heavy use. No two Damascus blades are identical.

The Stag Handle

The handle is a stacked multi-material design — dark black micarta spacers at the base, blue anodized aluminum rings for a striking color accent, natural stag antler as the main grip, and a gold brass pommel cap at the top. The natural stag antler has a warm brown tone with dark streaks and a natural textured surface that provides an excellent grip. Stag antler is one of the most traditional and prized handle materials in custom knife making — no two pieces are identical. The blue anodized aluminum rings add a modern premium contrast to the natural materials.

The Basket Weave Leather Sheath

The dark burgundy brown leather sheath features a basket weave embossed tooling pattern — a classic Western leatherwork design pressed into the full sheath surface. Gold yellow stitching runs along the edges. A belt loop on the back allows for secure hip carry. The sheath is built to protect the blade and complement the premium materials of the knife.
