This hand-forged Damascus skinning knife is built around a 5-inch blade made from 1095-layer Damascus steel, a natural stag horn handle and a genuine leather sheath. Its compact format is suited to detailed outdoor cutting and skinning tasks where controlled handling matters.
Hand-Forged Damascus Blade
- Blade material: 1095-layer hand-forged Damascus steel with a distinctive raindrop pattern.
- Blade length: approximately 5 inches.
- Blade thickness: approximately 3.5 mm.
- Hardness: approximately 55–60 HRC.
- Classic clip-point profile with a hand-sharpened cutting edge.
Craftsmanship & Premium Materials
The knife reflects careful craftsmanship at each stage, from forging and shaping the Damascus blade to finishing the handle and edge. The premium materials used here include 1095-layer Damascus steel, natural stag horn and genuine leather.
Stag Horn Handle Material
The natural handle material is authentic stag horn. Because natural horn varies in color, texture and grain, each handle has its own appearance. The shaped profile is designed for a comfortable, controlled grip during appropriate cutting tasks.
Full Tang Construction
The full tang construction extends through the handle for a solid, balanced feel. This traditional construction complements the compact size of the knife.
Custom Knives & Custom Orders
For buyers interested in custom knives, custom orders can be discussed around available materials, handle options and other product details. Availability depends on the requested configuration and materials.
One-of-a-Kind Handmade Character
Natural stag horn and hand-forged Damascus patterns vary from piece to piece, so each finished knife has an individual appearance. These natural variations contribute to its one-of-a-kind character rather than making every piece look identical.
Genuine Leather Sheath
A genuine leather sheath is included to help protect the blade during storage and transport. Keep the leather dry and allow it to air out if it becomes damp.
Care & Maintenance
- Clean and dry the Damascus blade promptly after use.
- Apply a light coat of suitable knife oil during extended storage.
- Avoid prolonged moisture exposure to the blade, stag horn handle and leather sheath.
- Maintain the edge with an appropriate sharpening stone or sharpening system.
- Store the knife in a dry environment when not in use.
