Hand-Forged Damascus Hunting Knife

This 13-inch hunting knife features an 8-inch hand-forged Damascus steel blade with a 7-inch cutting edge and clip point profile. The twist-pattern blade is forged from 1095 and 15N20 high and low carbon steel across 465 layers and heat-treated to 56-58 HRC. It is suited for hunters, skinners and collectors who want a traditional fixed-blade tool with a distinctive pattern-welded finish.

High-Carbon Steel Maintenance Requirements

Damascus and 1095 high-carbon steel will rust if not cared for properly. The blade must be cleaned and oiled or waxed after each use, and cooking oil is acceptable for this purpose. WD-40 can remove accidental rust spots. Long-term storage in the leather sheath is not recommended because leather absorbs moisture and promotes corrosion on the blade surface.

Fixed Blade with Belt Sheath Installation

The knife ships with an extra-thick cowhide leather sheath that includes a belt loop for carry. No assembly is required beyond securing the sheath to a belt. The main risk is storing the knife inside the sheath for extended periods, which traps moisture against the high-carbon steel and causes rust. Keep the blade clean, lightly oiled and stored outside the sheath when not in active use.

Questions about this item

Is the 13" overall length or the 5" handle better for my grip?

The knife measures 13" overall with an 8" blade and a 5" handle; choose the 5" handle if you prefer a shorter grip, or the full 13" if you want maximum reach for skinning.

What does the 56 to 58 HRC hardness mean when I am skinning game?

A hardness of 56 to 58 HRC keeps the 7" cutting edge sharp through extended field dressing, yet it is tough enough to resist chipping on bone.

How does the twist-pattern Damascus steel with 465 layers perform in wet conditions?

The 465-layer 1095/15N20 Damascus blade holds a keen edge but contains high-carbon steel that will rust if left damp; dry it, oil it, and never store it long-term in the leather sheath.
