The 17-Inch Copper Damascus Blade

Seventeen inches overall with a 10-inch blade — this is a bowie knife built for presence and performance in equal measure. The copper Damascus blade is forged from copper and steel layers that flow and fold during forging, producing a warm, golden-toned pattern that is entirely distinct from traditional iron-based Damascus. The 2-inch ricasso — the unsharpened section of the blade near the handle — provides a safe grip point for controlled choking up on the blade during precision tasks. The full tang construction ensures the blade and handle move as one unit, with no weak joint between them.

The Genuine Stag Handle

Genuine stag — the antler of a deer — is one of the most prized natural handle materials in traditional knife-making. Each piece of stag has a unique texture, color, and grain that cannot be replicated by any synthetic material. The natural ridges and contours of the stag provide an excellent grip, and the warm, earthy tones complement the copper Damascus blade beautifully. At 5.25 inches, the handle provides a full, comfortable grip for a knife of this size.

Care & Maintenance

• Clean and dry the blade after each use
• Apply a light coat of food-safe mineral oil to maintain the blade and prevent oxidation of the copper layers
• Do not store long-term in the leather sheath — store in the wooden box in a dry location
• Oil the stag handle occasionally to maintain its natural appearance
