Damascus Steel & Antler Handle

The blade is made from 125-layer Damascus steel with a raindrop pattern created through hand-forging. Damascus requires proper drying and oiling to help protect the surface from corrosion. The genuine elk antler handle has a naturally varied texture and appearance, so each handmade knife can differ slightly from another.

Care & Maintenance

• Hand wash the blade and dry it immediately after use.
• Do not leave Damascus steel soaking in water.
• Apply a thin coat of suitable protective oil after cleaning.
• Keep the leather sheath dry and do not store the knife wet.
• Use an appropriate sharpening system to maintain the edge.
