Purpose and user

This 9 inch hunting knife has a 4.5 inch full tang blade made from Damascus steel forged with 1095 and 15N20 high and low carbon steel. It is built for hunters and outdoor users who need a durable skinning tool with a natural KOA wood handle and brass bolster. The knife comes with a thick leather sheath that includes a belt loop for carry. It is not suited for buyers who want a folding pocket knife or a lightweight kitchen blade.

Thermals noise and power

The blade is hardened to 56 to 58 HRC after forging over 200 layers of steel. High carbon Damascus steel requires regular maintenance to prevent rust. Always clean the blade after use and apply oil or wax before storage. Never store the knife for long periods in the leather sheath because leather can absorb moisture and cause corrosion. If rust appears, use WD40 to remove it.

Deciding specification

The blade measures approximately 4 mm thick and features a twist pattern Damascus construction. The handle scale includes a mosaic design secured with two brass pins for extra strength. Buyers must be at least 18 years old to purchase. The knife is extremely sharp and should be handled with care.

Questions about this item

How do I mount the knife on my belt using the leather sheath?

Slide the belt through the loop on the back of the included cowhide leather sheath; the sheath holds the 4.5" full-tang Damascus blade securely for carry.

What ongoing care does the 1095/15N20 Damascus blade require?

Clean and dry the blade after each use, apply a light coat of oil or wax before storage, and never leave it in the leather sheath long-term because leather traps moisture that causes rust.

At what hardness does the 200-layer twist-pattern blade start to lose its edge under heavy skinning work?

The blade is heat-treated to 56-58 HRC; at that hardness the edge will roll before it chips during sustained, heavy skinning tasks.
