Hand Forged Quality

Hand forging produces a blade with superior grain structure compared to stock removal knives. The forging process aligns the steel's grain along the blade's geometry, resulting in a stronger, tougher blade that holds an edge longer and is more resistant to chipping and breaking under field use.

• Hunters and big game processors
• Trappers and small game hunters
• Outdoor enthusiasts who process their own game
• Knife collectors who appreciate hand-forged Damascus blades

Care Instructions

• Hand wash and dry immediately — 1095 Damascus will rust if left wet
• Apply food-safe oil to the blade after each use
• Oil the wood handle periodically
• Store in the leather sheath when not in use

FAQ

What is the difference between hand forged and stock removal?

Hand forging shapes the blade by hammering heated steel, aligning the grain structure for superior strength. Stock removal grinds the blade from flat bar stock. Hand forged blades are generally stronger and tougher.

Does it come with a sheath?

Yes — a leather sheath is included.

Each knife is individually hand forged — the Damascus pattern makes every blade unique.
